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 echo of God, I like that. I am considering consecrating myself to Mary this October. This was a nice post to keep that consideration in my mind today.
Anne You didn't mention this butwith your Consecration you should also get the book by St. Louis Marie de Montfort " Preparation for Total Consecration" It is incredible 3 weeks of purging and readying yourself for your Consecration. I also want to leave this thought:Mary isthe guardian of the trasures of God himself. She is capable of being the guardian of the concerns of those who place their trust in her. So Together with the assets of your life, cast all its liabilities - its obligations and duties - into that great sublime heart of hers. In her relations with you, she acts in a manner as if she had no other child but you. You are her first intention. Taken from the handbook of Legion of Mary p. 40 Michele
