Prayer of St. Francis - Letterpress Prayer Card
A prayer of peace, made with intention.
Our Prayer of St. Francis Letterpress Prayer Card is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and pray with your hands as well as your heart. Featuring the beloved prayer attributed to St. Francis, this card is rooted in centuries-old craftsmanship and created to honor the sacred words it carries.
Each card is designed and printed in Ontario on a traditional letterpress machine, using methods that are intentionally slow, tactile, and deeply rooted in tradition. Printed on 100% cotton paper, the off-white tone and substantial weight set the tone for reverence, while allowing the prayer to stand with clarity and grace. The cotton paper’s natural softness receives a deep impression, creating a texture you can feel—something modern printing simply cannot replicate.
The ink is mixed by hand, producing a color that is rich yet restrained, chosen to support prayer rather than distract from it. Each impression is made on a vintage Heidelberg Windmill press, a machine built in the early twentieth century and still producing beautiful work when guided by skilled hands. The result is a prayer card with physical presence, one that feels as meaningful as the words it bears.
Thoughtfully sized to slip into a Bible, breviary, prayer book, or pocket, this card is both a devotional companion and a keepsake. Whether kept for personal prayer or shared with someone you love, it is a small piece of sacred art meant to endure.
