The following is written on the back of this holy card, written in 1963.
"Dear ________,
Receive Him as often as possible. In order to receive the necessary graces you must be attentive at Mass. He is
present and wants you because He loves you. Love Him _______ with a full and perfect love. Remember the most perfect love is that which Our Lord is the way, the truth, and the life. God love you. I remain also your friend _________."

What a beautiful holy card! And the thoughtful message someone took the time to write to a friend is beautiful! I could use a friend that cared about me that much.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! How blessed the original recipient must have been, and how blessed we all are now because you have shared this with us!

p.s. Beautiful card Mikki
Such a wonderful sentiment. Those were the days when we collected and cherished Holy Cards I was told not long ago children don't care for Holy Cards probably because they don't have a Missal to put them in. I still have all mine in fact I still have my First communion Book. We all have a love for them they are timeless.
ReplyDeleteThank you
What a "Special" card! I love the prayer that is with it. This is indeed a beautiful gift given to the recipient, what a treasure and grace. Thank You for sharing this "Gem" with us! A Blessed Day to All, espcially Mary Lou! Jesus and Our Lady love You Mary Lou! John K.
ReplyDeleteHere I am Sunflower! Hell nor high water will keep me from the offer to have a God-loving friend.

ReplyDeleteThis was such a special Comment Page..never had one before that made my heart sing. Friends, Realization how important words can be, Love for our Fellow men/women. Thank you all....I'm definitely singing.
PS to Michele Here's a thought to consider. Children might not have the Missals/Prayerbooks that we had but if they were invited to take a card home and put it in the Family Bible might be an idea. Of course this might be the incentive to also get a Bible in their homes.
