I remember having a prayer card a while ago that said something along the lines of "Those who read this prayer will never die an accidental death, nor of fire and water, or at the hands of man". Does anybody know what saint this was? I want to get another copy because I really liked it but can't remember what card it was.

Just to add: It's not that I rely on the card to feel safe, I liked the prayer on it. I have many prayer cards and would like this one again.

Hi there,
I don't know why people bother answering when they're not willing to help, the booklet you are after is: ThePieta Prayer Booklet and The 15 St. Bridget Prayers.
The prayer you are after was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In 1500’s it was sent by the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle and it reads:
"Whoever reads this prayer or hears it or carries it, will never die a sudden death, nor be drowned, nor will poison take effect on them. They will not fall into the hands of the enemy nor be burned in any fire, nor will they be defeated in battle"
Make this prayer known everywhere.
Imprimatur
Most Rev. George V. Ahr
Bishop of Trenton
Hope this is what you were after

Anyone else think it odd that there would exist a prayer of this nature, and yet almost all of the apostles traditionally died very violent deaths?
I really don't like prayers that tell you how God is going to answer. A prayer is a request of God, not a command to Him, is it not?

Hon, I can't find anything of that sort in any online christian libraries... to tell the truth, it sounds more superstitious than christian. Sounds like the famous Irish blessing, except a promise rather than a prayer. I've never heard a mortal promise in christianity.

No Saint who ever lived said this. No one achieves Sainthood while alive and no Saint would begin to tell you that Trials and tribulations would not befall you. Jesus said that in this world you will have trials and tribulations. His words trump the words of any Saint.

Did a car salesman give you that car, cause he sold you a lemon. Honey pray to God to watch over and to protect you and your family and friends. He loves you, but His will is always done.

Who cares?
It's all that Catholic witchcraft crap, and none of it's supported by the Bible.
Put down the fairy tales from your bishop and pick up the book of God.

Beats me, but I want one, too. None of that stuff appeals to me. I want to die quietly in my sleep.
