Kateri Tekakwitha

by Fr. John Giuliani

Kateri Tekakwitha by Fr. John Giuliani

Format Descriptions    Item Code: GKAT



Quantity:

Narrative: Standing in a patch of blue flax in a field of lilies this image of Blessed Kateri, who died before her 24th birthday in 1680, shows her preferred blue mantle resting on a traditional Mohawk shirt which like a smock is worn over skirt and leggings whose edges are decorated with colorful beadwork as are her moccasins. The warm glow surrounding her figure suggests the blessedness of her innocence and, more mystically, its radiance among us.

Traditional iconography gives witness to the human face of the Sacred. This icon, imaged in the features of America’s indigenous peoples, reveals anew that sacred power. It celebrates the soul of the Native American as the original spiritual presence on this continent, and as a prophetic sign, it celebrates the reconciliation of the spiritual vision of Native and Christian peoples of this land.

Prayer Card:
Prayer for the Canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha
O God, who, among the many marvels of Your Grace in the New World, did cause to blossom on the banks of the Mohawk and of the St. Lawrence, the pure and tender Lily, Kateri Tekakwitha, grant we beseech You, the favor we beg through her intercession, that this Young Lover of Jesus and of His Cross may soon be counted among the Saints of Holy Mother Church, and that our hearts may be enkindled with a stronger desire to imitate her innocence and faith. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha,
please pray for us.
