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
What a wonderful and rewarding thing to do this is. That everyone would practice this more. Yes, as moms we do this every day, the point being we should all do it even if we aren't moms.
I love these old black and white holy cards with the lace border. This card is particularly touching.
As the previous comments left, we should incorporate this act of charity everday. Yes, the world would be so much better if this were practised in the true sense of word. To many people today, are so busy and caught up in themselves they miss many opportunities to be a blessing to others. Or they say, what is in it for me? How sad!! May we all learn to bring the healing and gently touch of Jesus to the lives of others even if at times it is inconvient. A blessed weekend to all! Thank you Micki for sharing this "treasure."

Ginny - Wrong.....you get paid for that job.......in hugs and kisses from those sweet urchins :-)
Diane S. - Your welcome. Consolation is always so welcomed..nice that it can come through art.
Anonymous - I think another word for "moms" in this vein might be brothers, sisters, moms, dads, friends, neighbors....doesn't matter.....as long as we "do" for someone.
John K. - Glad you like the "oldies"... I'm partial to them also. Yes, "daily charity" is what it's all about. Thanks.
What a fascinating quotation ... I guess as a mom, I do that pretty regularly! :)
