"God,
my God,
because you are mine,
I lack nothing."
St. Gertrude the Great
German words -
"In the Cross there is Salvation."
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

Friends,
The meaning of the German words is, "In the Cross there is Salvation."
Suggestion to SHEAFmom, in case you are not aware of this ...
When you are looking at a holy card with your child, you can click on the image to cause it to be enlarged (for clearer viewing of details).

The uplifting image apears to be for someone mourning ,hence the black border.The message is that we are saved from death by the cross and suffering of Jesus, here shown as His Most Sacred Heart,with the doves of The Holy Spirit to remind us "My Peace I give you" and "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted",Amen I say to that for we are comforted, even though our son died yet does he live with Christ and we shall see him and our other dear ones and there will be no more tears.
