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 I have missed you all. I'm sorry to have been away for so very long, but I'm a professional horsewoman and got called away on contract to break and school some young animals up in Yorkshire. I was in the middle of nowhere without even a telephone, never mind the internet.
But I'm back now and, Micki, have today caught up with all of your beautiful and uplifting postings. Fabulous, as always! Thank you so very much for your wonderful diligence.
I thought about you all every day and hope you are all well and having happy times.
I will go and wash off all the horsehair, hay and straw from myself right away and be back in my darling little routine of looking in daily for inspiration.
Micki--Thankyou for the lovely holycard. How tenderly the Christ Child and Our Lady look upon the sheep which represents each one of us.

P.S. to Easter--Now I have 41 grandchildren as of the 17th--he "only" weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz.! and you can just believe it that I am spoiling him like crazy!!!!
Lynneda - Oh what a blessing to know you are home safe and sound. We have all missed you...but I'm sure some horse owners were delighted to have you be there to teach their horses. Does your daughter travel with you? What fun.
Diane - I'm so happy that everyone is learning what a fantastic mother and grandmother you are to your "little" family. I will always think of you as the picture of Jesus saying...."let the children come to me." You must be running out of "lap" ha, ha, ha.
How wonderful, and penetrating, Micki, the quote you chose for today. To add to it, I like to think: and we, his body on earth now, are borne of her womb with Him. "O holy and Immaculate Virgin, HOW shall I praise you as I ought? You have borne in your womb HIM, and we, with and of HIM, whom the heavens could not contain. Oh, HOW?" The answer might be: oh... yes! Yes! As a child would praise you." Just thinking 'out loud.' Blessings to everyone in Jesus I pray. FOOL (FriendOfOurLord)
Micki: Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comments. I wanted to get back to you sooner, but was away for the weekend at my husband's grandmother's funeral. I have been so busy lately that I haven't been to Angela Messenger's blog in some time, but I have seen your comments over at Our Lady's Tears. You have a beautiful blog.
Micki and Everyone!

Welcome back, Lynneda! Just yesterday, I was wondering about your absence.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Diane! I've never met anywhere who had so many grandchildren before. You are blessings to each other.
