St. Julia was a virgin martyr who was killed by Syrian pagans for refusing to accept their beliefs. She is the patron saint of Corsica, torture victims, and pathologies of the hands and the feet. Her image is on the front of the card and a prayer on the back.
Saint Julia of Carthage
Your lamb, Julia, O Jesus,
did cry unto You
with a loud voice, saying,
My Bridegroom, I long for You,
and in struggles seek You.
I am crucified and buried
with You in my Baptism,
and for You I do suffer
until I reign with You.
I die for You that
I may live in You.
Then as a sacrifice
without blemish receive her who
for Your sake was slain.
Through her intercessions,
therefore, since You are merciful,
save our souls and let the example of St.
Julia be a motivation
for us to stay by You forever.
Amen.
