"In order to avoid discord,
never contradict anyone
except in case of sin or
some danger to a neighbor;
and when necessary to contradict others,
do it with tact and not with temper."

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

Thank You

How hard to be a King and a Saint! Louis of France pray for us all.
El Greco another artist I always recognise, so spiritual, so moving.
Oh, wow, I LOVE El Greco. I'd never seen that painting before. Thanks!
Anonymous - Thank you for sharing your personal situation with your son. How proud you must be that he isn't giving up. You are a wonderful mother for standing by him. We will all keep you both in our prayers.
diddleymaz - How true it is to have you say how hard it must have been to be both King and Saint. He was also blessed with parents who shared their love of the Lord.
Ginny - I'm also happy when some of the greatest artists did religious paintings. So glad there have been so many to inspire us all these years latter.
