This antique Virgin Mary/Holy Spirit prayer card was printed in France by Villemur on 36 Rue Serpente in Paris and is circa 1800s. Thank you to https://saintscatholic.blogspot.com/p/saint-symbols.html for the information on flower symbolism. The flower depicted below the Holy Spirit is the Lilium candidum or the Madonna Lily. The prayer on the reverse of the card is to the Virgin Mary and reads in translation:
Like the angel, we salute you o Mother of our savior. Virgin chosen from all eternity to deliver the world from the spirit of evil. We salute you, we bless you and we kindly ask you to put in your hearts a single reflection of each of your virtues, a spark of your love for God.
Direct our thoughts, our words, our actions, so that they are all agreeable to your divine son and all tend to his glory.
The card measures 3 3/4" x 2 1/4".
Please note the areas of soiling to the left side of the card as well as the edge wear.
Thank you for looking.
