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.
Micki, it is so beautiful - Mary with all her lovely lillies about her! Joy of heaven indeed. Thank you for your prayers for us ds., my prayers go to you to. My Best Regards, Lynneda
