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

*St. Joseph Feast Day..........March 19
How we wish we could learn more about St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster-father to Jesus.
But Scripture has left us with the most important knowledge: who he was --
What a great day! My patron and Father's Feast Day.
Words of Our Lady to Ven. Mary of Agreda: "The children of the world are ignorant regarding the privileges and rights which the Most High has conferred on my holy spouse, and the power of his intercession with the Divine Majesty and with me. But I assure you, my daughter, that in Heaven he is most intimate with the Lord, and has great power to avert the punishment of Divine justice from sinners. In all trials seek his intercession, because the Heavenly father will grant whatever my spouse asks." "ITE AD JOSEPH"
