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
This holy card is just BEAUTIFUL/EXQUISITE!! I love the quote by Maximillian Kolbe about our Mother. Thanks for sharing with us daily~you are very inspiring for me~JMJ~Lisa S.
Beneath the picture are the French words, "Sainte Vierge." Literally, this means, "the Holy Virgin," which is how native francophones (such as Alice von Hildebrand) often refer to Our Lady in English (instead of saying, "the Blessed Virgin").
Amen! Mary, You are my Beloved - the love and beat of my poor heart. To be in love with You is the greatest gift and grace I could ever desire. You are my Everything.
Wonderful thought to get me through this Friday, Micki.
ReplyDeleteGod bless everyone here and have a restful weekend!
