for just as you speak to God when at prayer,
God speaks to you when you read."
St. Vincent de Paul
The Latin sentence means,
"Go and teach all the people".
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 Micki for all these wonderful and uplifting quotes. There is nothing more nourishing for the soul than spiritual reading. It is so necessary also for ones thoughts and actions in everyday life.
