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

The Visitation..........May 31
Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth. She is greeted with these words.."Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Let us reach out to help others. Lace card dated 1885.
Thanks to you and Easter A for the kind words about the translations.
Usually, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus falls in June. But, since Easter was almost as early as possible this year, the Sacred Heart falls in "Mary's Month."
Also, usually, the day after Sacred Heart is the memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but that is pre-empted this year by the liturgical calendar. The last day of Mary's Month is the Feast of the Visitation (except when it falls on a Sunday).
Welcome back, Mic(Es)ki(mo)!
