Holy Card: Portrait Of Jesus

This has a Copyright date of 1934. Jesus in portrait, beautiful artwork, a picture I haven't seen. Unfortunately, some stains on it from handling. Still, very nice.

Holy Card: Therese of Lisieux

This beautiful one is my favorite saint of all time, St. Therese, the Little Flower. Card from Italy, classic cross and roses pose.

Someone had this one on a bulletin board, because there's two pin holes in it, top and bottom. Reprinted from Leaves magazine of Dearborn, Michigan.

The back has a prayer:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore and tell Him I will love Him each day more and more.

(The above prayer, plus 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's, 5 Glory Be's, must be said on 5 successive days, before 11 A.M. On the 5th day, the 5th set of prayers having been completed, offer one more set -- 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's, 5 Glory Be's.)
Therese of Lisieux, sometimes called Theresa with an A. The Little Flower, "No matter where, her prayer is guiding me," from an old song.

Holy Card: Come Sanctifier

A lovely card with a dove hovering over the Jesus chalice, with the host, drops of fire. "Come Sanctifier, bless these sacrificial gifts."

Holy Card: Ecce Ancilla Domini

Mary's praying and a dove is above her head, "Ecce ancilla Domini," Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

Holy Card: Salvator Mundi

There's some great heavenly power being radiated downward, then the Savior's great sacrifice for the world.

Holy Card: Crucified Christ

A black and white close up of the crucified Christ, thorns on His head. Maybe the most stunning artwork I've ever seen of this scene.

His mouth is open but relaxed, his eyes are closed, there's a beatific expression on his face, the body is soft fuzzed, melts into black.

Behind Christ you can see just part of the cross, and there's a halo that arcs way out. If you continued the circle it'd cross His neck.

The only marking is D-57.
