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

St. Pius X ..............August 21
His last will and testament bears the striking sentence:
In my town we hace a church dedicated to him, with a beautiful statue-reliquary. Maybe some day I will go to take a photo of this, and a detail of the reliquary.
Its nice to hear about the good Popes! So many holy and great men and priests in our church and all the world talks about are the bad apples. Thank you Micki, let us pray for our Holy Father Benedict and ask all his faithfull predecessors to pray for us and guide us.
Again, thank you everyone. You can't begin to know how happy I am when you all leave a comment or two. I don't always have the time to thank you each individually but please know that I thank you and hope you always feel welcomed to share your thoughts. Thank you. Blessings to all.
