That Agnus Dei is one of my favorite prints. I have a card of it which I have kept for years and use as a bookmark for all my spiritual reading. It is tattered, dogeared, and crumpled , but remains my fav.
"This is the Lamb of God" has been a phrase ringing in my heart since childhood,and is special ever time I hear it after the Elevation.
I look forward to these art posts.
Thanks.
beautiful..
Teresa, I think I got that prayer card from Women of Faith and Family. I love it.
Thanks ladies.
