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

Christ the King..........November 22
"The Lord is our King," says Isaiah."It is He who will save us."
At the feet of Jesus, the Latin words mean "KING OF KINGS"
Under the papal tiara and keys, it appears to say "THROUGH THE ROCK"Michael on the right has a banner that says "WHO (IS) AS/LIKE GOD"
Angel on left has "GABRIEL" in his halo. His book appears to say "THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE..."
His banner freely translated, "whose reign will have no end."

ReplyDeleteThe image is inverted, please correct it. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I knew how it got inverted. Hope this looks better.
ReplyDeleteToday is also the feastday of Saint Caecilia, virgin and martyr, patron saint of sacred music.
ReplyDeleteThanks Micki, its a lovely old card and a great feast and a wonderful saints day.
