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
This image reminds me of the excitement I felt during the Christmas Season and placing the figures in the Creche. I would often gaze upon them in wonderment, thinking how wonderful that most "Special" night must have been! Hopefully, as my faith has matured I realize that I too can relive the reality of Jesus comeing into my heart and giving Himself to me in the Blessed Eucharist! A "gift" I am most unworthy of, but Thankfully we have a loving Saviour that chose to leave the glory of Heaven and live amongst us in the simple forms of bread and wine! Jesus help me by your grace to continually prepare my heart to welcome you with songs of Joy and Praise this Advent Season!!! A Peacefilled night to all! John K.
John K. - What a beautiful reflection of your youthful joy of Christ's coming. To grow in maturity and reach the time when you can now relive the reality of His Eucharistic gift brings joy to us all. Thank you.
