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
The text with today's card reminds me of the story in the Gospel when Jesus asks the Apostles why you have little faith? Jesus then calmed the storms. May our faith and trust in Our Lord grow ever more stronger as the tumultous waves of the world pound us in hopes that we will abandon Jesus who is our ALL!!! I love any quote by St. Padre Pio. Let us arm ourselves with the Holy Rosary against the evils of our times. Padre Pio was a great devotee of the Rosary. Jesus and Mary I love you!!! Save Souls!! John K>
Amen. Our Lady please help us all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a intriguing card! I want to know the story of Our Lady of Boulogne ...

ReplyDeleteZetor - Such simple words yet such a plea for her assistance. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGinny - I felt the same way but I couldn't find anything except in a foreign language. It's just comforting to know she is there to help us.
John K. - Oh, I so agree with you about Mary and any words from St. Padre Pio.
