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

"Let us receive them (ashes) in a spirit of humility and penance, that by this powerful sacramental we may obtain from almighty God the blessings which the Church implores in the act of blessing them. For, truly, "God overlooks the sins of men for the sake of repentance."

A nice image and text! As we all begin the journey of Lent, may we always keep in mind that we should at all times "be ready" for we know not the time or hour that we will be called to stand before Jesus the Just Judge. Through prayer, penance and fasting may we grow in holiness so that we maybe truly transformed into the image of our Saviour! A blessed and holy Lent to you Micki! John K.
