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

Hard Lenten Promises..........February 22
"You can't say your Lenten promise is too hard after looking at this photo." Kathleen
Where there is no love, put love and you will find love.
This is a photo that came in an email. It is not my holy card. It just touched my soul.
Dear children, Today, with my motherly heart, I call you gathered around me to love your neighbour. My children, stop. Look in the eyes of your brother and see Jesus, my Son. If you see joy, rejoice with him. If there is pain in the eyes of your brother, with your tenderness and goodness, cast it away, because without love you are lost. Only love is effective; it works miracles. Love will give you unity in my Son and the victory of my heart. Therefore, my children, love. Our Lady's Medjugorje message, September 2, 2008
I have seen this picture before, but by a different artist. Nonetheless it is a very moving picture that touches the human soul, and makes one aware of our nothingness and the depths of Jesus love for each and everyone of us, His Children! John K.
People drabbling on about our sinfulness and blahblahblah...there is no proof he even existed, let alone is some kind of holy figure. It's just mass hysteria and mass stupidity that would have people believe this; let alone believe some Easter bunny in the sky sacrificed themself for us. The sinfully ones. The uspeakable nothing's of the world. You're mental if you think this actually happened.
Anonymous - I find your comment so sad. I will pray for you and your soul. What bothers me is with your belief why are you on this site which is nothing but pictures and words about and for the love of God. May God bless you whether you believe or not.
We can all take responsibility for what is going on in the picture you posted. Thank you for yet another reminder of our sinfulnes.
