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

How lovely this one is, Micki. I really enjoy seeing Mary and Jesus depicted in as many different ways as this world has to offer.

The Oriental way of painting is one of simple loveliness...I especially love the sweet tenderness of little Jesus toward His Mother.
