Holy Cards For Your Inspiration

IMAGO SACRA MILLE GRATIARUM VALET. ("A holy picture is worth a thousand graces")................... This blog is a means to show some of my holy card collection along with some interesting thoughts and inspirations. "....artists have the privilege in the Church and throughout history, to open up so that people can see the mystery of God. The artist speaks, not just literally, but symbolically. Visual images, if well done, can move us. That's a ministry." Quote from Brother Michael Moran, C.P

Pileated Woodpecker - Must Share This With You

I know this is not a holy card, but it is a wondrous blessing to be shared.

Absolutely a spiritual occasion when a pileated woodpecker came to visit us the other day. HUGE bird. Approximately 15 inches long with a 36" wing span...and he was inches away from my window
eating suet. Stayed there for 15 minutes. Rarely seen in our area yet he blessed us with a visit and we will give thanks to God for this sight.

Saint Isidore - O tiller of the soil, dear St. Isidore, it is said that while you labored in the field, "your hand was on the plow but your heart was ever blessed with the thought of God."

Amen St. Isidore the Farmer Feast day: May 15th(b. 1070 – d. 1130) Spanish saint and patron saint of farmers and farmworkers
