Holy Cards For Your Inspiration

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

Our Lady of Treille, France..........July 17

Our Lady of Treille, France

Patron of Lille, France

"Hold Him fast,

O sweet Lady::

hold Him Whom thou lovest,

............"

St. Aefred of Rievaulx

Let us always look for Jesus...

He will be in Mary's arms.

I didn't see this card yesterday, but I found this info today:
"Lille had been known for the miraculous statue of the Virgin protected by an iron trellis (hence the name 'Notre-Dame de la Treille' – Our Lady of the Trellis) since the Middle Ages."
