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
Thomas, ou beleive because you have seen. But Blessed are those who beleive without seeing.
Micki, when I went to Medjugorje I was blessed to see some things that I never beleived I would ever see in this life on earth. But, when I left Medjugorje I felt a little sad that the Lord has to give the world signs to beleive. We should love him and beleive in him without signs.
I'm sorry, but I cannot figure out a really good translation of the Dutch words on this card, which appear to be, "Ach, luister toch eens, lieve Heer!" Perhaps someone who is bilingual can help us.
The best I can do is this (being unsure of the words in the middle): "Oh, a splendor very surely, dear Lord!"
I have seen this Holy Card but without color. How precious this is with color. The tenderness of a child to adore her Lord without any pretenses. We are all called to such faith. Oh sweet Jesus in the Tabernacle... increase our Love and faith for you so that we may radiate it to the entire world!!!
I found a "Dutch to English" dictionary on the internet that shows: ACH: (ah, woe) LUISTER: (listen) TOCH: (but, so, certainly, yet) EENS: (just, once, one day, once upon a time) LIEVE: (mensen, dear, hoi) HEER: (lord)
Freda - Your so welcomed. I'm happy to be sharing HIS "family album."
Ed - So true. I find it easy to believe but there is the warning about the "false prophets" and that means we also have to discern...with the Holy Spirit's help.
John - Thanks....I'll put it on as is...makes sense to me.
Gina - Thank you for the added prayer....I love it.
Freda - Interesting...however when put together it doesn't make any sense to me???
Oh, Micki...This is just so lovely...Thank You kindly for sharing this treasure!
