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 card is SO sweet. I need to add to my collection for sure. I love your quote from St. Theresa. She is my confirmation Saint. I have a special place in my heart for her. My mother-in-law (who shared this site with me) helped me pick her when I came into the church 17 years ago. She was my Sponsor, too!! Thank you Diane! She has a special place in my heart as well. Thanks for sharing with us daily. God will TRULY bless you~JMJ~Lisa S.
Micki, I agree with the two previous comments left by Diane and Lisa. Ste. Therese is my favorite Saint, she was so like us in many ways, so very real. She showed us that reaching sanctity is really possible, through the small acts we offer up to Our Dear Lord. When we do this He will surely honor our intentions. I have an entire photo album with different holy cards and booklets dedicated to her. Some of the cards are quite old, a friend of mine who is French recently sent me a very old booklet with prayers and the Mass in honor of Ste.Therese. May Ste. Therese shower upon our world her roses of graces from the hand of Jesus who was her EVVERYTHING!!! A blessed day to all who visit today!! John K.

John K. - Thank you for the blessing to all who visit today....I have been away myself but I hope I got a little blessing also.
