The prayer on the back:
God our Father, through the gift of
Blessed Emperor Karl You have given us
an example to follow. In extremely difficult
times he performed his burdensome tasks
without ever losing his faith. He always
followed Your Son, the true King.
He led a humble life, sincerely
loving the poor and giving himself
heart and soul to the search for peace.
Even when his life was in danger he
trusted in You, putting his life in
Your hands. Almighty and Merciful God,
by the intercession of Blessed Emperor Karl,
we pray that You may give us his unconditional
faith to support us in our most difficult
situations, and the courage to always follow
the example of Your only Son.
Open our hearts to the poor, and strengthen
our commitment for peace within our families
and among all peoples.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
