"You may call God Love;
you may call God Goodness;
but the best name for God
is Compassion."
Meister Eckhart
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 beautiful card made me think of the Ark of the Covenant, which had a cherub on each end, hovering over the Ark's "mercy seat," which itself was over the Word of God (the Ten Commandments).
In this card, we have two pairs of cherubim on each end, hovering over the New Ark of the Covenant, Mary, who is over the Word of God (Jesus).
