"May Jesus,
who is all meekness,
receive you,
like the wise men,
in His divine heart."
from a French holy card
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

Good Morning Sweet Micki,
I love this picture...
I posted it on the top of my website...Love, Prayerflowers

Hi, Micki.
I have especially attracted to pictures of the Epiphany. I had never seen this one before, and I am raving about its bright colors. I also like seeing humble St. Joseph in the background.
Yesterday, you told us about one of the saints of the day (your special patron for the year), St. Genevieve, heroine of Paris. On today's list of saints, I noticed another one who could be an extra patron for you:
St. Genevieve Torres Morales of Almenara -- Genoveva in Spanish --was an orphan at age 8 and lost a leg to amputation at age 13. Nevertheless, she founded and led the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Holy Angels. She died at the age of 86 in 1956. Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1995 and canonized her in 2003.
Happy Epiphany (in some nations) today. In other parts of the world (including Vatican City), the Solemnity is celebrated each year on January 6.
John
What a beautiful Holy Card Micki.
Thank You
Prayerflowers - All for HIS glory. I'm sorry to be responding a few days behind schedule. My angel is flying over to give you a hug. As the song says "Can you feel the love?"
John - How wonderful to learn about another St. Genevieve. You are always responsible for adding so much good information for all of us here. A big "THANK YOU" is always here waiting for you.
Ed - I see your name and think of Fr. Ed and brings a smile to my face. I also see your name and think of Our Lady. Gee, I wonder why?
