When one of His children is in need, I am glad to be His slave.\" \r\nOn verso: As a slave, Venerable Pierre Toussaint was brought from Haiti to New York and apprenticed under a popular hairstylist in the city. He eventually became the most sought after hairdresser of high society women. Upon the death of his master he gained his freedom and was very successful as one of the country's first black entrepreneurs. He became quite wealthy, but instead of spending lavishly on himself, he supported the church and the poor. He and his wife sheltered orphans, refugees and other street people in their home. He founded one of New Yorks first orphanages and raised money for the city's first cathedral. Even during yellow fever epidemics Toussaint would risk his life to help others by nursing the sick and praying with the dying./ Prayer to Venerable Pierre Toussaint/ O virtuous Pierre Toussaint, son of Haiti, pray for all the poor and afflicted. Pray especially for your brothers and sisters in Haiti as they sick freedom from the oppression of poverty and calamity. Through your prayerful intercession, strengthen the weak, enrich the poor, comfort the downcast and inspire courage and hope among all those who struggle each day. Amen./ (c) 2010 www.CatholicPrayerCards.org/ 1-888-244-2788/ email: orders@CatholicPrayerCards.org/ card#179","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"'Venerable Pierre Toussaint', chromolithographic holy card published by Catholic Prayer Cards, America, 2010.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"Venerable Pierre Toussaint","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"Toussaint, Pierre","id":"AUTH333062"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.1151-2012"],"accessionNumberNum":"1151","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2012,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-07-23","recordCreationDate":"2013-09-06","availableToBook":false}}
