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
Beautiful painting, Micki. Could this be the artist? http://lambiek.net/artists/t/trevisan_g.htm The signature looks like "Giorgio Trevisan."
Thanks for sharing the photos of Alaska. I looked at all 75 of them, because I wanted to (vicariously) experience the state, the only one of the fifty that I have not visited. I will probably never get there in person. John
What a wonderful, tender, and powerful image of Mary with Jesus. I love it. I also love the text that you chose to go with the image. It is a perfect match. Kay
John - It's hard to believe that is the artist...doesn't look like he could be the same painter of such a lovely painting. Glad you enjoyed some of the Alaskan pictures.
Gina - We are lucky to be able to share so many different style of paintings.
Kay - Thanks for the sweet comment. Means a lot coming from you.
