The Window Shows It All
When I first started blogging I had no idea what my focus would be. Unlike Chelsey, our standard poodle, who had her focus on keeping us safe from the outside world. That’s why I named the blog The Window Shows it All. I later decided sharing my holy card collection would be my goal and that’s why my computer address is not Holy Cards for Inspiration.

I love these mid 19th century cards,the lace edges the sweet faces!They really liked roses too.
The quotation from Fulton Sheen is typical of him, so profound and yet easy to listen to.I dont think there is much symbolism to decode in todays card it is a sweet image of a faithful daughter of Mary offering prayer and recieving grace and blessings the roses may mean the Rosary.Thank you Micki and blessings to all of us who make this internet prayer group. Of your charity Pray for me,a sinner,and I will pray for you also, Amen
Micki have you googled Maria Bambina yet? you will find real treasures .
Sweet Micki...I love this picture...it reminds of the Rosary novena that offers a bouquet of roses to our Holy Mother for a petition of graces...love it! I also love the quote from Bishop Sheen...it is so true.
Love,

TO ALL - I think it has become quite clear that so many love this picture of our loving and beautiful Mother reaching out to her child. I know that we are all "her child"... we are so blessed. We love you Mary and know that your goal of bringing us to Jesus, your Son, has always been your goal. Pray for us all.
It's beautiful to know that so many also appreciate the words from Bishop Sheen. Another saint in the waiting.
Again, I enjoy reading your thoughts and feelings. Thank you for sharing.
