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

Shipreck of Sin..........July 24

"Noah's ark was a type of Mary. As, by its means, human beings were preserved from the Flood, so are we all saved by Mary from the shipwreck of sin. There is this difference, however. In the ark few were saved, but through Mary the whole human race was rescued from death.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

All for Mary, through Jesus, for world peace, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

Translation of the French words on the card:

At the top:"The Fruits of Devotion to Mary"

At the bottom:"Escape from the world. We will rest in solitude ... and I will cause you to enjoy a presently unknown peace."

At the top:
"The Fruits of Devotion to Mary"

At the bottom:
"Escape from the world. We will rest in solitude ... and I will cause you to enjoy a presently unknown peace."
