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

Pope St. Alexander
Let us prepare for Lent
by reading Scripture.
If you need some ideas,
start with Romans Chapter 12.
"To be ignorant of Scripture is to be ignorant of Christ." St. Jerome
What a wonderful thing to wake up to this lovely morning! Scriptures are God's love letters for us. God's words always guarantee to bring us joy, peace, and fullness of life! God be praised!
Well, I'm late home and just about to get ready to sleep, so I'm reading the Scriptures late - but what a nice way to nod off, thank you Micki! And another lovely lacy card - of age? Best Regards, Lynneda
Easter - What a beautiful thought! "Scriptures are God's love letter for us." The kind of love letter I love!
Lynneda - May I ask where do you live? For the first time I'm seeing it must not be the US. It sounded like you were going to bed in what would be our afternoon.
Regarding the lace card....this one doesn't have a date. My guess is late 1800s though. Thanks again for your comments.
Hi Micki, At the moment I'm living in Bury St Edmunds, Sufflok, U.K., but I'm hoping to move in the summer back to my beloved Northamptonshire, U.K. Best Regards, Lynneda
Hello Lynneda, How sweet of you! Cy is much better. Thank you for your prayers!
I meant Suffolk - not Sufflok! (Lynneda, you gave me a giggle :-) ). I once gave up laughing during Lent. It never worked! :-) I will never do that again. I just have to restrain myself a bit. :-) Love, Easter :-)
I'm so glad Cy is feeling better, easter. I keep saying I'm going to give up chocolate and sweets for lent - which would mean laughing would go too. Every Best Regard, Lynneda

Lynneda - :-)
ReplyDeleteEaster - I bet you thought that would be sharing in His sorrow. See, He wants us to have joy! I'm glad you'll never do that one again.
Lynneda - Sometimes its more important for the additions not the subtractions. I suppose a little of both is best!
