The Two Standards And Other Profound Ideas

The one of Christ, our Commander-in-chief and Lord;
the other of Lucifer,
mortal enemy of our human nature.---
S.E., 2nd Week,
The Two Standards
The picture is from the late Father Joseph MacDonnell, S.J.
who acquired them from the John J. Burns Library of Boston College
through the Burns Library director, Robert O'Neil.
They were originally produced in 1673 by early fathers of the Society of Jesus
and printed "chez Michel Cnobbaert, a L'enseigne de S.Pierre."
