Three words. The most profound truth in all of Scripture.

God is Love. — 1 John 4:8

Not just that God loves. Not just that God is loving. But that Love itself is what God is. And if we are made in His image — then Love is the very reason we exist.

This God is Love laminated prayer card carries that truth in a form you can hold, share, and keep. It was designed by Shawn Kilgarlin — wife, mother of four, mental health clinician, and highly sought-after Life Coach from Shreveport, Louisiana. Shawn created ShopCatholic not just as a business, but as a ministry. Profits from every prayer card go toward her mission of giving: every Christmas Eve, she donates thousands of gifts to children in need through Holy Angels, and she volunteers at addiction treatment centers offering grounding boxes and group classes. Her own children, Loyola University students, and local high school students help make gift bags for those who need them most.

When you purchase a ShopCatholic prayer card, you’re not just buying a card. You’re part of the giving.

❤️ The Reflection

To say that I am made in the image of God
is to say that Love is the reason for my existence,
for God is Love.

Love is my origin.
Love is my constant calling.
Love is my fulfillment.

Wherever I may be,
whatever I may do,
I am called to love —
because I was made by Love,
for Love,
and in Love. Amen.
