Sometimes the Greatest Gift You Can Give Is Prayer.

When words fall short, when you don't know what to say, when someone you love is hurting and you feel helpless — prayer is always enough. "I Said a Prayer for You Today" is one of the most beloved and gifted prayer cards in the Kilgarlin collection, because it says exactly what the heart wants to say: I thought of you. I brought you before God. You are not alone.

This beautifully laminated Kilgarlin prayer card is finished with gold color accents and designed to be given away — tucked into a sympathy card, a get-well note, a care package, or simply handed to a friend who needs to know someone is praying for them. It's a small card that carries an enormous amount of love.

The Prayer

I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard — I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind. I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind. I asked that He'd be near you at the start of each new day, to grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small, but it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. 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.
