When You Saw Only One Set of Footprints, That Is When I Carried You.

Few poems in the history of Christian devotion have touched as many hearts as Footprints in the Sand. In a dream, a person walks along the beach with the Lord, looking back at two sets of footprints — until they notice that during the hardest moments of their life, there was only one set. "Lord, why did you leave me?" they ask. And the Lord answers: "My precious child, I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

This beautifully laminated Kilgarlin prayer card carries that timeless message, finished with gold color accents. Give it to someone who is walking through a hard season and needs to know they are not alone — that they are being carried.

The Poem

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was only one. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?" The Lord replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you." Amen.

A Mission Behind Every Card

ShopCatholic was founded by Shawn Kilgarlin — wife, mother of four, mental health clinician, and life coach. Every Christmas Eve, Shawn donates thousands of gifts to those in need through Holy Angels. She volunteers at addiction treatment centers, offering grounding boxes and group classes. Her children, Loyola University students, and local high school students help make gift bags for families in need — all funded from her own heart. When you purchase a Kilgarlin prayer card, you're participating in that mission of giving.
