"Make yourself familiar with the angels,
and behold them frequently in spirit,
for without being seen, they are present with you."

The Window Shows It All
When I first started blogging I had no idea what my focus would be. Unlike Chelsey, our standard poodle, who had her focus on keeping us safe from the outside world. That’s why I named the blog The Window Shows it All. I later decided sharing my holy card collection would be my goal and that’s why my computer address is not Holy Cards for Inspiration.

..."Thank You"...Micki...for such a beautiful card and quote! I visit each morning early to your site for your inspirational gifts, around noon and then close of the day also enjoying your friends observations. God bless you and your wonderful ministry! ~Freda~
Friends,
The Italian words at the bottom of the card mean, "Angel of Blessed Angelico." The last two words may refer to the man pictured in the upper right corner. At the Daily Saints and Blesseds site, I found the following, which may be the person to whom the card refers:
Bl. John the Angelic di Pietro of Vicchio [Giovanni Angelico] [baptized Guido (Guy)] [better known as "Fra Angelico"] (Italian, Dominican friar, religious artist, died at about age 67 in 1455 [beatified 1982])
Fra Angelico was a famous painter, some of whose works can be enjoyed by clicking on the small pictures at this site. Fra Angelico painted many angels, as can be seen by scrolling down at this site.
John
Naturally I really love this card!
Micki,
I'm am sending my Guardian Angel Samson to keep you company today.
God Bless, Ed
