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

Jesus Washes Peter's Feet.......August 13

The wonderful lesson of washing others' feet, which symbolizes our serving others with humility and without imposing our own conditions.

Jesus tells us to emulate His actions in this simple ceremony: "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you"

(John 13:15).

Regina - Humility...yes, we all need to follow His example. Ever hear of the expression "eat humble pie"? I guess it's a trait we all need to remember.
