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

*Stars at Night with Mary and Jesus..........May 27
"You never think of Mary without Mary thinking of God on your behalf. Neither do you ever praise and honor God without Mary praising and honoring God in union with you."
St. Louis Grignion de Montfort ..from AskACatholic.com
For reasons particular to this point in my spiritual 'evolution' this quote was very exciting to me when I read it this morning. Couldn't wait to (finally have time to) let you know :)! And also, to congratulate you on winning 'Best Visual' at the Canonball Blog Awards. Way to go, Micki. Yaaaay! As a celebrity now, I hope you'll remember me fondly... Haha! Vain though it may be, I take great pride in having nominated you and Kay - who (drum roll) were the top two in the race. I know 'good' when I encounter it, I'll tell ya (BIG smile)! God bless you.
aspiring f.o.o.L. - I must admit that it pleases me that you found the quote "exciting." When I found it I thought that it was a quote our non-Catholic friends would maybe see and understand our love and devotion to Mary. She always leads us to her son.
Thank you for your nomination. It was a fun adventure. I'm so happy that it has caused so many others to come check out the blog. I'm humbled and grateful. Thank you.
Look at the tenderness with which Jesus is looking at Mary---what a beautiful holy card! Thankyou, Micki, for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love all the cards you post, but I especially love the ones of Mary (I'm a kinda big fan of the BVM) ....
The quotation is beautiful, too -- may I steal it for my own blog sometime???
