Guide our steps through the prayers and intercession of the glorious Mother of God,

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! LOVE THE DETAIL
What a fabulous card Micki, and the artistic detail is astounding - I love how the blue material drapes over Our Lady's lap. Just fantastic, thank you.
Best Regards, Lynneda
Micki--this card is breathtaking! The prayer with it
is going on the back of the card so I may say it every
day.
Just think--if we are ever trying to stay close to Our Lord and Our Lady--someday we will be there with them and all the saints. If such a holy card brings us such joy, can we imagine when it will be a reality and we will really be there!!! Just a thought!
d.s.
Love it, Micki. Thanks to the priest who identified some saints, most of whom I would not have known.
Possible additions: in the back, on each side, closest to the chair ... maybe St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and maybe St. Benedict.

I love his card Micki. Saint Anselm was the Patron saint of my Grandfather.
The prayer meeting that I attend every Thursday evening is at Saint Charles Borromeo Church.
So this card has a lot of meaning to me.
This one is especially gorgeous Micki. St. Charles Borromeo is one of my patron saints and I've never seen him depicted in this way. I love it! I'll post this on my lil blog too - thanks!
The Holy Mother, Christ, the Communion of Saints, and the Holy City, joined in one image…what a beautiful representation of our aspirations and prayers.
Thank you Micki!
Yet another beautiful picture and reflection:).
Many, many thanks Micki:)
Peace & JOY to you:)

Anonymous - Yes, we had a great model on that one.
Lynneda - Isn't it amazing what some of these artist can do?
D.S. - Great thought...now I'll have to keep my eye out for holy cards with "us" on them. ;-)
JOhn - Good suggestion....could be.
Ed - Looks like a nice remembrance of your grandfather and your church. Was that your grandfather's name too? Very unusual.
Sanctus Bellel - Thank you. We have a beautiful church here with a gorgous stained glass St. Charles B. depicted.
Dave - Thank you. I had a hard time finding that quote using the words "Mary, Jesus, Saints." I was blessed to have this just pop out for me.
Marie - All for His glory. Thanks.
