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
Do not weep. She is not dead. How true that is! We will be BORN into eternal life with Jesus. We we be raised into Heaven from this prison on earth. We will live with Jesus & Mary and all the saints who have gone before us. What a glorious day that will be.
Friends,
ReplyDeleteThe German and Italian words on the card mean this:
"Jesus raises the daughter of Jairus.
Luke 8:52
Do not weep. She is not dead, but asleep."
John
Do not weep. She is not dead.
ReplyDeleteHow true that is!
We will be BORN into eternal life with Jesus.
We we be raised into Heaven from this prison on earth.
We will live with Jesus & Mary and all the saints who have gone before us.
What a glorious day that will be.
Death is a gift, a mercy from God. Without dying we could not possibly enter Heaven due to our sins.
