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

Prayer..........July 15
"When we pray,
the voice of the heart must be heard
more than the proceedings from the mouth."
St. Bonaventure
Translation:
"Jesus, Jesus, come to me. Oh, how I myself long for Thee!"
John - Thank you for the translation into those wonderful words. Oh please, anytime I make an error I appreciate being informed. Some English teacher thanks you too.
Friends,
ReplyDeleteHere is a translation of the German rhyme at the bottom of the lovable card:
"Jesus, Jesus, come to me.
Oh, how I myself long for Thee!"
John
PS: Micki, please don't be upset at my noticing and mentioning this, but you need a quotation mark at the end of St. Bonaventure's good words.
