The Three Kings offer the Infant God
the gold of a life full of love and fidelity,
the frankincense of a prayerful faith,
the myrrh of our sorrows,
tears and sufferings
which we unite to His own.
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

The detail of this card is fantastic, Micki. How can a black and white card be so "rich"? It's beautiful. Thank you.
Best Regards, Lynneda
I have just returned from evening mass in celebrating the Feast of the Epiphany and then to see such an appropriate beautiful card - how cool is that!

Happy Feast Day of the Epiphany Micki. Beautiful card!
I think that this is what the French words mean:
"The Three Kings. In the night, upright hearts received the light. They adore Jesus, [bowing] their foreheads to the dust."
