ST. JOHN HENRY NEWMAN - CANONIZATION HOLY CARD
Among the literary titans of the Catholic Church, Cardinal John Henry Newman holds an impressive place. Anglican priest, poet, and professor of theology, Newman underwent a bitter intellectual struggle which resulted in his conversion to Roman Catholicism. His autobiography, “Apologia Pro Vita Sua”, is considered a masterpiece of Catholic theological writing. Cardinal John Henry Newman was canonized a Saint of the Catholic Church on October 13, 2019. The front of the card reads: “Saint John Henry Newman Canonized October 13, 2019 “Learn to do thy part, and leave the rest to Heaven.”
On the back of the card is a list of important historical dates for the saint and the following prayer:
Heavenly Father, we offer You
thanks and praise
for the life of Your servant
John Henry Newman,
and for his canonization by Your
Holy Catholic Church.
As Cardinal, theologian, and
writer, he served Your Church
with humility, insight, and
wisdom.
We now seek his intercession as
St. John Henry Newman, and call
upon this great Saint to further
Your Kingdom upon Earth.
May we imitate his example of
love and personal holiness.
Amen.”
