Jesus Heals All! was a holy card I found that had no prayer on the back. I loved the composition of the front picture, but the old card I had was just too damaged to use or even restore. I looked around and found a sepia version of it in an old book, with the artist said to be one "A. Dietrich." I couldn't find any artist from that time period doing any Catholic work at all, nor an artist using that narrative style.

I colorized the sepia copy until I got a result I liked. I had been searching for a vintage image to pair with a Prayer for When You Hear a Siren. It was something my mother always said, either a prayerful moment or just a Hail Mary. It's something Sue and I do. When we hear a siren, it is a call to prayer, even briefly. It's a spiritual practice you might want to take up and share.

We have not made a fine art print of this image because the process we used to create it only looks good small. We like the print though, and hope to come across a good, vintage version of it, as well as some word as to who this A. Dietrich was.

Thank you for your interest in our Catholic art project!
