The Prayer Pope Francis Chose for His Historic Journey to the US/Mexico Border.

In 2016, Pope Francis made an Apostolic Journey to the United States and Mexico — a historic pilgrimage that culminated at the US/Mexico border in a powerful act of prayer, solidarity, and mercy for migrants and families separated by borders. To commemorate this journey and place something sacred in the hands of the faithful, Pope Francis ordered 80,000 of these Kilgarlin "Praying With Your Five Fingers" cards for distribution.

Think about that for a moment. The Pope of the Catholic Church — on one of the most significant apostolic journeys of his pontificate — chose this simple, beautiful method of prayer to put in the hands of the faithful at the US/Mexico border. That is the power of this card.

"Praying With Your Five Fingers" teaches intercessory prayer using each finger of your hand as a guide — so simple a child can learn it, so profound the Holy Father himself chose it for one of the most historic moments of his papacy.

How to Pray With Your Five Fingers

Your thumb is the finger nearest to you. Begin by praying for those closest to you — your family and friends.

Your index finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct, and heal — teachers, doctors, ministers, and nurses.

Your middle finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the President, leaders in business and industry, and administrators.

Your ring finger is the weakest finger. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble, or in pain.

And finally comes your little finger — the smallest of all. Your little finger should remind you of your own smallness in relation to God's greatness. Ask Him for anything you need. 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.

Perfect for Every Parish, School & Ministry

If it was good enough for Pope Francis to order 80,000 for his 2016 Apostolic Journey — it's good enough for your parish. This card is ideal for First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA, religious education classes, Catholic school classrooms, hospital ministry, prison ministry, immigration ministry, and any event where you want to put something truly meaningful in someone's hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was Pope Francis's 2016 Apostolic Journey to the US/Mexico border?
In February 2016, Pope Francis made a historic Apostolic Journey to Mexico, which included a deeply moving visit to Ciudad Juárez at the US/Mexico border. There he celebrated Mass and prayed for migrants, refugees, and families separated by the border — one of the most powerful moments of his pontificate. To commemorate this journey, 80,000 Kilgarlin "Praying With Your Five Fingers" cards were ordered for distribution to the faithful.

Who is this card best for?
Everyone. This card is especially wonderful for children learning to pray, adults who want a simple daily prayer structure, and anyone who has ever felt like they "don't know how to pray." The five-finger method removes all barriers and makes intercessory prayer accessible to every person of faith.
