Easter Vigil

This is a magnificent image depicting the Water of Baptism as the Vine, the very Heart of God, flowing over the soul of the newly Baptized by the power of the Cross.
 
THE VINE AS THE HEART OF GOD
The young vine shoot bedded in the earth.
Small branch, always remember well
that you are of God,
that you are in God,
and that you are for God.
GRACE OF HOLY BAPTISM   Letaille See John 15:1-5
 
Note: At every Easter Vigil service, Christians renew their Baptismal Promises.

O Life Giving Cross, I place at your feet, my joys and my sorrows.  
Mon. Vve. Bouasse Lebel

To the Holy Cross
O my heart, remember the wondrous cross and think on it untiringly.
The cross is for us the Garden of delights, is the Garden of all blossoms:
the tree of beauty, blessed by the blood of the Savior...

A small image of the degrees of love.
My God, grow my wings.

Poor freezing soul, from the cold breath of the world, come warm up near the Heart of Jesus.
It is at this Divine touch that the cold heart comes alive, and little by little feels within itself that which befits the Heart of Jesus.
