is the most infallible sign
of the presence of
God."
Leon Bloy
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

What a wonderful depiction of Christ! It is not too often that you see him pictured in such a full blown smile. It made me smile just looking at him. Great reminder about joy. No one will believe we love Christ if we walk around sour. Thanks Micki!

I LOVE the laughing Jesus pictures. Too bad they are so hard to find!
I should find one for my son's bedroom. What a great image of Christ to grow up with.
Stephanie - Thought you'd appreciate this quote...."From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us!" -- St. Teresa of Avila
Ginny - Sounds like a good idea. He could learn about JOY with that face of Jesus....then the message of joy (Jesus, Others, Yourself)
Great quote, Micki! Thanks for taking the time to share it with me. Stephanie
