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
Love this-the prayer and the picture! I posted something similar today about the Gospel reading. Sometimes it is so easy to forget that God lives within us and is always with us.
Like Marylou, My day feels that it will be complete,only,after I do my morning readings here then continue with my prayers.Yes,we tend to often forget that God lives within us and is always with us. Thank You,for the lovely reminder. a wonderful day to you all. snflwr. Micki, the coffe does add to it all,doesn't it?
Tara - Happy to know that...it's always fun to find a quote.
Gardenia - Thank you for your kind words.
Mary Lou - And you inspire me by saying something here begins your morning prapyers. Thank you.
snflwr - I have to laugh...drinking coffee and praying. I remember a story that was about a man who asked God if he could smoke while he prayed and God said "no". So then he asked if he could pray while he smoked and God said "of course." Wonder if that works with coffee too????
Froggy - Welcome! Don't you just love those little lambs? And "nuzzle" is such a heartwarming word. Love it. Thanks.
Ed S. - Oh Ed you are special. If I can bring you any inspiration I am humbled. Thanks dear lover of Mary and Jesus.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the Baby Jesus and Our Lady! It is so Beautiful. Thank You for sharing this sweet rememberance of this Holy Season!
May you and yours have a New Year that is filled with Peace, Love, Joy that comes from Heaven!~ John K.
John K - Thank you and as the kids say "back at you". I'm so glad you love this picture....it's one of my favorites. Are we allowed to have many "favorites"? I hope so but wonder why "favorite" always seems to mean just one.
