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

*Sorrowful Mary........March 20
"Human beings will never comprehend sufficiently the anguish and immensity of Mary's sorrows.
Very few Christians partake of those sufferings and even fewer offer any consolation to her."
