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
Welcome Home Sweet Micki I love this picture of Little Jesus...thank you so much for sharing Him and your love for Him with so many. Love & Hugs, Prayrflowers So glad you all had a wonderful time. Your pictures of Alaska are awesome.
Greetings in Jesus, Micki, and friends of Micki, Funny thing - I just came across a Henry Van Dyke quote myself. I'd never heard of him before and he shows up twice! I'm still wondering at parts of it myself but I'll share it anyway. Parts are beautiful, too. “I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, ‘There, she is gone!’ Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “There, she is gone,” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, ‘Here she comes!’ And that is dying.” with love, AspiringFOOL (FriendOfOurLord)
Prayerflowers - Thank you MA. I pray you are feeling better. Your comments are always much appreciated.
Freda - Always enjoy your visits. Glad you enjoyed the Alaskan pics. We had so much fun.
Friend of our Lord - What a fantastic quote. I love it. Isn't that true about our losing site of something yet someone else gets to know see it. Fantastic. I shall copy that for my own inspiration.
