New! Sacred Heart of Jesus – by Philip Kemper – Framed Miniature – Catholic Keepsake

Our favorite Sacred Heart picture, as a holy card, in a beautiful frame. Perfect for a desk top, countertop, book shelf, or bedside stand. Wherever you’d like a devotional picture of the Sacred Heart. It represents the interior life of Jesus, his thoughts, will, and feeling. He invites us in to share His internal life. What an astonishing invitation!

Mr. Philip Kemper of Dayton, Ohio, made this card originally in the 1880s, and published it in over 200 languages around the world. According to EWTN.com, he received a personal audience with the Pope and a special commendation for spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart.

He also sussed out the specific promises Jesus made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French nun, which she had written in her diaries of the Visions she had. Promise #9 is, “I will bless every place in which an image of my Heart is exposed and honored.”

These small framed holy cards are what we call the "adorable" size, and look good on desks, shelves, bedstands, etc. They make great, unique and memorable gifts to your devout friends, or lukewarm friends whom you can help warm up a bit. Our mission is to “Strengthen the Faithful and Evangelize through Beauty.” We hope these framed miniatures do just that for you and the people you know.

Materials:

Frames are metal or plastic, with either glass or plastic protective fronts. The more expensive ones are glass and metal, or sometimes resin; the less expensive are plastic or resin with clear plastic fronts. The plastic ones are NICE, though, just so you know. We're picky about this stuff.

Dimensions:

The holy card is 2.75 x 4.25" inches. Interior dimensions of the frame are 3.5x5.0. Exterior dimensions are on average 4.0 x 5.5" inches, but vary a little depending on which frame you choose.

Thanks for your interest in our Catholic art project.

Peace be with you,
