Prayer is an essential tool for healing and is an excellent source of comfort,
courage and strength for those who are suffering. During times of illness,
disease or a life challenge, nothing is more important than to offer prayer
and to join with others in assurance of these prayers.
In addition to prayer, the Saints protect us against harm, help strengthen our
faith and offer spiritual guidance and healing. They are our models of prayer
and their intercession helps present powerful prayers of healing to God on
our behalf.
Our Patron Saints of Healing line offers hope and comfort to those who
seek healing through the intercession of the Saints. Each holy card and medal

Saint Alice was born at Shaerbeck, near Brussels.
At the age of 7, she entered a Cistercian convent
that became her future home. The Cistercian
community welcomed her graciously
and was inspired by her spirit of humility.
Unfortunately, Alice contracted leprosy
as an adolescent and had to be quarantined
within the convent. She eventually became paralyzed
and blind, but her true suffering came when
she was no longer allowed to receive from the chalice
during Communion. Soon after, our Lord appeared
to Alice and consoled her by stating that receiving
the consecrated bread was receiving the Blood
as well as the Body of Jesus.
On June 11, 1249, Saint Alice became gravely ill
and it was revealed to her that she had 12 months
more on earth. As her agonies increased,
she continued to offer the additional sufferings
for the souls in purgatory. Despite her pains, she was
comforted by still more ecstasies and revelations.
On June 10, 1250, as predicted, Saint Alice died.
She was canonized in 1907.
Saint Alice is recognized today as the patroness of
those suffering from paralysis. Her feast day is June 15th.
Saint Alice, Pray for Us.
