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
This Holy Card is simple, yet beautiful! I love the artist use of innocent children presenting their bouquet of flowers to Jesus. Symbolic of the Giving of ourselves to Jesus as we should in all things.
The text for today is Awesome. I love anything by our present Holy Father, who is truly annointed by the Holy Spirit! I am grateful for the gift of his Papacy to the World.
May we use this time of Lent to deepen our relationship with the Lord. Thru prayer,spiritual reading, and self-denial I hope to be transformed more into His image and say, "Yes" His designs for my life. A Blessed and Holy Lent to all of your Visitors and to you Micki! John K.
John K - I love your last words printed above. I'm having a terrible start to Lent having come down with some "pain and suffering" that did't add to my Lenten resolutions. Oh well, I'm praying that all will be well soon.
Beautiful card and meditation for the beginning of Lent, Micki.
