Sursum Corda

It means, "Lift up your hearts (to God.)"  For swaggertoes, who chose a really unique and challenging theme for her chunky book page:  illuminated manuscripts.

4x4.  Acrylics, gel pen, colored pencil.

This makes me think of a line from Sister Act (the first one) when Sister Mary Clarance hears this phrase and thinks they said "insert some quarters"....

This is lovely Shelli ... will there be more on this theme?

Ha! That's funny. I saw that movie, like, decades ago, and have no memory of what you just wrote being a part of it. I chose this phrase from a long list of Latin phrases I found on the web. But the mind does interesting things, and I'll bet I was drawn to using "sursum corda" (which I didn't consciously recognize) because I heard or saw it somewhere before. Maybe in that movie! There were literally hundreds of phrases to choose from and I chose this one. And how often is Latin featured in movies? Fascinating! Thanks for sharing this! ;)
