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
To Mrs. Jackie Parkes MJ, We are kindred spirits. St. Catherine is 'mine,' too! May God bless you, and me, and all of her charges... and all who promote her as well. To Micki, The holy card and quote are so well-matched. Thanks once again.
Anonymous - Thank you. It's challenging sometimes to try to find the right quote to match a card....sometimes God just puts the right quote in front of my eyes. :-))
Late again, Micki, but as they say Better Late Than Never! Just so much to catch up on, but it's all coming together.
And what a wonderful card to see when I call by. I so love these cards, Micki, they are more uplifting than you probably know already.
In brief answer to your question - I don't take my little girl when I go off on a longer term contract with horses as it would be disruptive to her schooling. My darling sister comes in to do "Mummy Duties" - she has no children, and Claudine can wrap her around her little finger. So all are happy. In fact, faces drop when I return!!!
Luckily for Family Stability, I don't often take longer contracts out of daily travelling distance - but sometimes the animals are of such quality, I can't resist.
Lynneda - I'm sure it is difficult getting back in your routine when you've been away. You made me laugh out loud when you mentioned that their faces "drop" when you return...for only a second I'm sure. It's always good to have "mom" back home I'm sure. You are blessed to have such a helping sister. I live next to the state of Kentucky...maybe someday you will be called out there to work with all the horses there. Or maybe you will be called to help out at the "Kentucky Derby."
Marie - Thank you for your encouraging comments..just trying to share Him through art.
Anonymous - Thank you for stopping by. I wish I could help but I really don't know where this card might be available. I've collected cards for the last ten years or so....I don't remember how I got this one, it's part of a series, that's all I can say. Sorry.
My confirmation saint...glad to get your daily inspiration after a vacation..
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jackie. You have a wonderful patron saint.
