The Mother of God, the most pure Virgin
carried the True Light in her arms and brought Him
to those who lay in darkness.
We too should carry a light for all to see
and reflect the radiance of the True Light
as we hasten to meet Him.
St. Sophronius
This holycard is a reproduction of the "Virgin of the Veil" of Italian painter Carlo Dolci.

Dearest Micki,
ReplyDeleteI pray for you everyday!
I check out the holy card of the day first thing when I get to work! I just love reading the posts, too. It is like the way the world should be! Honoring and loving friends through the holy spirit. It is like a warm fuzzie everyday!:) I am in the process of conversion to the Church, so I am very excited and optimistic anyway and this is just another beautiful blessing.
Again, thanks as always for your generosity and dedication to this ministry!
Hugs to you from across the net!
:) Ally
