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

*Good Shepherd..........April 13
He Shepherds and Gives
"Find out how much God has given you
and from it take what you need;
the remainder is needed by others."
Saint Augustine
"I am the good Shepherd. I give my life for my sheep."
The holy card posted today is really beautiful, modern but all the same very touching! Micki, I do hope you and your loved ones had a Blessed Easter and Holy Lent! I have visited your site each day, but have not had any words to share. I seem to be in a wasteland of darkness the past month and half. Yet, I continue to march forward trusting in Our Lords love and grace. I also felt inspired with the text of today. We must always have grateful hearts for the many blessings we receive and learn to share with those less fortunate. Do have a blessed day Micki! John K.
Friends,
ReplyDeleteThe French words have this meaning:
"I am the good Shepherd. I give my life for my sheep."
