 Our Description

This Altar Server Holy Card features a picture of the patron of altar servers, St. John Berchman, on the front. On the back there is a prayer:

To be Christ's page at the altar, To serve Him freely there, Where even the angels falter, Bowed low in reverent prayer.  To touch the throne most holy, To hand the gifts for the feast, To see Him meekly, lowly, Descend at the word of the priest.  To hear man's poor petition, To sound the silver bell, When He in sweet submission, Comes down with us to dwell.  No grander mission surely, Could saints or men enjoy, No heart should love more purely, Than yours, my altar girl or boy.  God bless you forever, And keep you in His care, And guard you that you never, Belie the robes you wear.  For while bespeaks untainted, A heart both tried and true, And red tells love the sainted, And holy martyrs knew.  Throughout life, then, endeavor, God's Graces to employ, And be in heart forever, A holy altar girl or boy.
