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

Back to School with Jesus.......September 2
Many students go back to school the day after Labor Day.
"...Jesus our only teacher...thank you for bringing me this far...."
The world of school is big and impersonal and frightening moment by moment and day by day and year by year. Oh, please commit with me to really pray for it, and for each boy and girl who has to spend so much time there, growing up there.
THIS is an afterthought to my anonymous post above. IT isn't just a matter of the world of school and the people that the boys and girls are subject to. [Include daycares with schools.] IT'S also a matter of the world of home and the people they're subject to at home, after school, each day. SO many broken homes in so many ways, so many impossible frustrations. So much neglect and abuse. SO much evil about. BELOW the surphace living is altogether miserable and hopeless for many boys and girls. Maybe most? THEY and our world with them need prayer for relief and for safety and for Jesus and for divine assistance. SO again... oh, please commit with me to really pray for our boys and girls.
