1910s - Vintage Our Lady of Lourdes Holy Card - Saint Bernadette Apparition - French Catholic Prayer Indulgence Card - Antique Devotional

The front of this historical prayer card prominently displays the inscription 'Notre-Dame de Lourdes' (Our Lady of Lourdes) and the heartfelt plea 'Priez pour nous !' (Pray for us!). A historically significant detail, '(300 jours)' indicates a 300-day indulgence granted for its use, a common practice in Catholic tradition during that era.

On the reverse, the card features a series of 'Invocations' in French, specifically 'Faites pendant la Procession du Saint-Sacrement devant les Malades' (To be said during the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament before the Sick). These prayers include petitions to the Lord, expressions of faith, and appeals to Jesus and Mary for healing and mercy, such as 'Seigneur, si vous le voulez, vous pouvez me guérir' (Lord, if You wish, You can heal me). This card offers a tangible connection to early 20th-century Catholic spiritual life and a cherished piece of religious history.
