We have in heaven the heart of a mother,
The Virgin, our Mother,
who at the foot of the Cross
suffered as much as possible
for a human creature,
understands our troubles and consoles us.
Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandic
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

thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for the beautiful holy
card of Our Lady. I have seen that card before and I
just love it but never had a copy of it. Now it will be
one of those many special holy cards that is tidily
placed in a prayerbook I use each day so I may look
at her and pray for you and all who visit this wonderful site.

Thanks, Micki, for a "stunner."
The French words (from a hymn), mean this:
"O Mother so pure, you are our hope and the joy of Heaven!"

Thank you for posting it Micki.

I think you might need some bigger prayerbooks :-))
John - She certainly is my hope. Thanks for translating.
Lynneda - She is so beautiful in deed! We pray she helps make us "beautiful" too.
Ed - It makes me happy to have something you are touched by. Enjoy HER.
