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
This is utterly beautiful, Micki, so poignant; and the wonderful rich brown the artist has used is almost "edible". Wonderful, thank you. Best Regards, Lynneda
Micky, Once again your pictures brought me to tears. God has given you a special gift...and you have shared it so generously. The pictures of Jesus & Mary always help my heart to find words to embrace Him. Thank you for your friendship, Prayerflowers
Thanks for this prayer. I will keep this, and use it if I may. Such a good thing to remember...instead of asking why, accept, be better for it(His will), and grow in wisdom.

The holy card is a treasure-seeing Our Lord under the weight of His cross--the quotation is something to think on all day. Thankyou Micki.
