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

Feast of St. Gregory the Great.........September 3
Friends,
ReplyDeleteThe Italian words on the card say, "St. Gregory the Great, Protector of the City of Manduria."
I have not been able to determine why this southeast Italian town, very far from Rome, has St. Gregory as its special "protector" (patron saint).

Our great Pope protect us all!, another reminder of our wonderful history, the servants of the servants of God.
ReplyDeleteJohn - As always...big thank you.
ReplyDeletediddleymaz - How lucky we are to have all these reminders. Thanks for that "reminder"....
