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
We see Christ enthroned in majesty, yet that is not what he wants us to see. He is pointing to his Sacred Heart. He is telling us: "Behold my Heart which loves you so."
Well, today, in love and humility and joy and gratitude, I offer a tribute to Micki, and also to each of you in her community here at "Holy Cards For Your Inspiration" - in the form of this excerpt:
"What love has taught to one soul may waken the chords of love in others. What has been a light to one mind, and a joy to one heart, may carry light to other minds and joy to other hearts [and I add: and so on and on and on through the end of time]. May it be so, and Jesus more loved and God more glorified!"
Isn't this so beautiful? It's from the book "The Precious Blood; The Price Of Our Salvation," p. 276 by Father Frederick William Faber (1814-1863).
I do so appreciate the connection and camaraderie among your visitors that you make possible, as well your visitors themselves and their own love and joy and light to share.
The first part of and some of the middle part of my message above got lost in the TypingEditingDelivery. Sorry. I hope the gist of it is clear enough though. Love and prayers to each, AspiringFOOL(FriendOfOurLord)
AHHH... the Sacred Heart of Jesus! Such powerful love Jesus has for all of us!
I have been consecrating people who need an extra doze of love to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and I must say, I see dramatic results visibly. That powerful love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus surely is tranfused to the ones prayed for!
Micki, I miss being here! Thank you for all you do. Hugs to you, dearest lady!
Fr. Scott - And that is the message we must always keep up front.
FOOL - It also is the message from a movie that I loved "Pay It Forward." So true. Great inspirational words...thanks.
Easter - I'm honored when I see you could take time away from your wonderful work that keeps you so busy. Thank you for praying for those who especially need Jesus with His love for us all.
