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

Eskimo Mary and Jesus..........January 15
Pray for others and God will take care of you.
Here is the meaning of the Dutch words on this card:
One blessed mother for all of us whomever we may be. She becomes who we need. Eskimo,latina,asian,etc. and is always full of beauty and love for each and every one of us.Praise to her!
May we all take a moment to pray for the people of Haiti in this such a horrific time for them. A blessed day to all ! snflwr
