Cherie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Great thread! It's so hard to choose! But here are some I like: [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jWduGxiECYU/S6TC5wTpyEI/AAAAAAAABQY/mla-_44FCT8/s400/blessed_mother.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.jesus-christ-channel.com/images/Mary-baby-Jesus.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.sophiainstitute.com/client/email_ads/email_images/madonna-and-child-g.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.cfl-sacramento.org/images/classicmarychild.jpg[/img] [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EC-ucyNfO8w/R94tGiO1eCI/AAAAAAAAAig/hocMAFCN-v8/S249/mary+and+baby+jesus.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.sjmililani.com/images/Madonna%20&%20Child.jpg[/img] There's also one that used to be my avatar that I think is my absolute favorite picture of Our Lady and the Child Jesus - I nicknamed it "A Mother's Love" because it's so tender. I think right now I especially gravitate towards pictures of Our Lady and the Child Jesus, most especially those in which our Lady snuggles close to the baby Jesus. Since I'm a first-time expectant mom, I really relate well to those pictures. I cannot WAIT to cuddle with my beautiful little baby when he's born, and the love I feel for this child is so overwhelming and overflowing, I can only imagine the sentiments of Our Lady who was not only without sin, but could snuggle close to a Child Who was GOD!!! How amazing must that have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca2009 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Oh, these are all so beautiful. Wow.... Here is another one I like very much~I don't know where this statue is, but it is breathtaking!

laetitia crucis Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I love [i]L'Innocence[/i]! (That was actually the picture I was going to post -- hahaha!) Here's the full image: [img]http://www.wikiwak.com/image/Bouguereau-Linnocence.jpg[/img] I love how gentle, tender, and serene it is. I always think of Our Lady as "my" Sweet Mother... at least this is how I've always addressed her. This image seems to capture her sweetness well for me. As does this other one that CM posted: [img]http://www.sophiainstitute.com/client/email_ads/email_images/madonna-and-child-g.jpg[/img] Maria, Mater Dulcissima -- Ora Pro Nobis!

Cherie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I know this statue is often heavily associated with Medjugorje, and while personally Medjugorje doesn't quite sit well with me, still I do all I can to "disassociate it" because I love the look of the statue so much. I love it, though, because Our Lady looks so [i]motherly[/i] ... I call it Mary's matronly statue. I feel like running up to her and giving her a hug!

The second one I found when making a powerpoint explaining the Assumption. I think it's incredibly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
