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
Good Afternoon Micki. What a good thought because we sometimes what to change the Lord to our ways and his ways our not our ways. We tell him what we want or that which we would like to have which is OK, but I think we should end our prayer with, Your will be done Lord, not mine. God Bless, Ed
Ed - I so agree with that! Isn't that the way Jesus taught us to pray..."Thy will be done".... Easy to see that His will would definitely be better than our will.
WOW! So simple yet so powerful! An Hour with Jesus? Micki, I will have to find volumes l and ll. I will check to see if the Daughters of St. Paul have them. I am grateful! :-)
Prayer: "does allow You (Jesus) to change our hearts." YES to this! Those who know me now do not believe how broken I once was. Jesus' triumph over death, his grace, and prayers, all in one, have a lot to do with it. :-)
Thanks as ever Micki! Have a joyful and blessed week ahead to you and your visitors! :-)

I think that would make a wonderful daily prayer! Actually some days it would make a great minute by minute prayer!
ReplyDeleteI really needed that today. Thank you for posting it.
ReplyDeleteEaster - It's my favorite little booklet to take to holy hours. I hope you find it.
ReplyDeleteAngela - I love that idea of a "minute by minute" prayer. Thanks for sharing that thought.
Jessica - I hope all is well. If the prayer helps that makes me happy.
