GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST
The Shepherds understood the word
that had been spoken to them
concerning this Child
and returned glorifying
and praising God.
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

This is such a lovely card, Micki. Have you any idea as to its age?
I must say it's good to be back! This site has so quickly become part of my daily routine, I miss it when I haven't got it around. Nice to be in touch with all your "regulars" again too. It's quite a good little gang you have here! Thank you.
My Best Regards, Lynneda
Micki, did you see Angela's message -- left late yesterday (on the 1/1 thread)? Your beautiful site could not remain a secret for long! The "Register" has many thousands of readers.
Thank you for helping us through your efforts.

Micki, I have decided to mothball my old blog (angela messenger) and the new one can be found here:

Micki, It is Glorious that you should happen to post a holy card on the Shepherds today. In Our Lady's Medjugorje message today to Mirjana she requested that we pray and fast for our Shepherds (priests).
God Bless,
The Shepherds were considered the 'dregs of society' in their day.
So of course God will go to those on the lowest rung of the social elite. What a lesson for us all:).
Thanks Micki:)
Peace & JOY to you:)

Lynneda - There is no date printed on this card, but most of these laces are late 1800s. We are glad you are back also...you were missed.
John - Yes I was notified by "Angela." I am very pleased to be pointed out...I hope the site will touch a few more people and draw them closer to HIM.
Angela - Yes, your new email with the angels is terrific. The site will, I pray, continue with the way the old one went.
Ed - What a treat to hear this. Isn't it funny how the Holy Spirit must certainly guide us with the things we do. To pray for our "shepherds" is a most worthy goal.
Marie - A great thought to be reminded about. The last shall be first also.
The lace cards are my favorites.
Adrienne - Thanks, mine too :-)
