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
John - Good Morning. Yes, I did misspell his name. I fixed it thanks to you. I also forgot the quotation marks. Talk about having a "senior moment." I appreciate your wisdom. Thank you.
Hi, I am trying to find a picture of St. Georgie whose Feast Day is also today. She lived in the 6th Century. Thank you, Sister Georgene Golock, FDC Akron, Ohio
Each day I visit your site I am always pleased to find such "jewels" and words to uplift the soul. The holy cards remind me of my early childhood and how excited I would be when I saw all the beautifully wrapped gifts from "Santa Claus." I stood there in awe of their beauty and that is exactly how I feel when I see the beautiful cards and uplifting texts that await each visitor. I hope that everyone has a peacefilled Sunday! John K.
Sister Goblock - Did you mean to write St. Georgia? My Saint book doesn't have a St. Georgie...but as you probably know St. Georgia was a recluse, hermitess, nun in C lermont in France. I would image the name is based on St. George.
I also checked with a priest friend who is an expert on Saints and he didn't have any further information or holy card. Sorry.
John K. - Thank you for your appreciation. It means so much and certainly is a reason for me to continue sharing these holy cards. Back at you with all your "blessings."
What a wonderful way to start one's day! I always check this site when I open my computer. It is such an inspiration and I cherish it's content! I grew up with these beautiful holy cards and reminders and to be able to continue to enjoy such beauty & inspiration is awesome! God Bless!
The holy card that you posted today is so beautiful and unique! Like the others who commented, each time I read your blog, I think back on the nuns in my Catholic school who would always give me a holy card for whatever reason. They are precious to me to this day! I think that it is wonderful that you have preserved them to help others in their faith journey!
Thanks so much Micki! What a wonderful card. I have followed the directions for printing the cards. I am starting to print and laminate these to begin my own collection. I want to tell you thank you so much for sharing your cards with us! You bring joy to many!
Anonymous - Thank you for sharing how you have had a love of holy cards since your childhood. Me too! Blessings to you also.
Bella Vita - You make me smile remembering the good nuns who were so sweet to pass out cards to us little urchins. I didn't get too many because I didn't get lots of one hundreds on tests :-) Thank you Roz and blessings to you and your husband who sounds might sweet.
Ally - I'm so happy that you got the method down. It's so much fun to make these copies for your children or your own inspiration. I hope a little prayer for me will sneak in there also. Blessings.
Miguel- Sorry. The print on the back is too tiny to even see...possibly "Germany."
Hi, Micki.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully colored card depicting the central Mystery of our Faith!
Is the quotation from John Bunyan? I think that you accidentally misspelled his name.
John
