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

Jesus I Adore Thee, Friday of the First Week of Lent
Looking at Jesus, the innocent Lamb, one of my favorite sayings of St. Therese came to mind-- "When you are angry with someone, the way to find peace is to pray for that person and ask God to reward him or her for making you suffer." That is a tough one but He was a silent Lamb for us and so can't we make the tiniest efforts to imitate Him.
