“It is to the beautiful pictures you used to show me that I owe some of the greatest joys and the strongest inspiration in my efforts to practise virtue, and I lost all sense of time when I was looking at them.”
St. Thérèse of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul (Dover Publications, 2008), 47.
(referring to The Divine Prisoner Holy Card shown to her by Pauline)

Immagini Sacre Contemplative Magazine features the holy card images that were the spiritual formation of Saint Therese of Lisieux. The magazine features our own personal collection that we have purchased from antique dealers from all over the world. We have complied them artistically and translated them into English for the faithful to study and contemplate just like Saint Therese did in her youth.

    Immagini Sacre

    HOLY IMAGES OF A COMTEMPLATIVE LAITY

    This Magazine was consecrated to The Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of our Sorrowful Mother in Year 2022  A.D. before issue one first release.

    Immagini Sacre Magazine  is a historical documentary/ photography journal of our own personal collection of rare, vintage holy cards from the 18th and 19th Century. We aim to preserve and document this important time of the church so it will not be forgotten.

    In the mid 1800's Letaille Printing House, a Parisian lace holy card printer released a series of holy cards (Divine Pilot) that were the inspiration of many of the faithful. (Even our dear Saint Therese of Lisieux)

    ​

    This series was so respected for it's teaching that even The Protestant Sunday School Association of New York released a book that featured only 10 of the holy cards from the series. It has been unknown for many years as to how many are actually in this series.

     

    After nearly a decade of research and careful communication with other collectors and antique art dealers from all over the world, our family is believed to be the only source at this time who owns the collection of 13 in it's entirety. (Though we are always looking for another.) We are pleased to present to the faithful for the first time in history, the entire collection of the Divine Pilot holy card series in this magazine issue of Immagini Sacre.

     

    These are the very same images that were the spiritual formation of Saint Therese of Lisieux.

     

    Discover the hidden contemplative holy cards of the mid 1800's and the message they carried.
