Holy Family Day, 2013




WE ADORE

in which I look for You confounded...

branches remaining forever united!.....

HONEY AND MILK 
To us is born a Child 
sweeter than honey.

"There is no spot 
of sin in you, 
O my good friend!"  
Letaille

The title of this card celebrates the Immaculate Conception in a way that is so natural and trusting; distilling the theological doctrine to it's essence, the artist delights in the goodness of God who has given to us this perfect friend.

Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, November 9


Nest of the Dove
I retire into solitude, and there listen to what the Lord says to me.
Letaille 

Teresa of Avila often referred to the Carmelite monestaries as the Dovecotes of Our Lady. For that reason, and because, like St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity lived near Paris during the time in which most of the cards in this collection were published, I looked for one for her feast day that I hope expresses something of the Carmelite charism she so beautifully embodied:


    Come, blessed of my Father.
    These crowns belong to you: 
    Faith, Hope, Love, Chastity, Sweetness, Humility,  
     Lejeune
    Based on Matt. 25:34  
    Come, ye blessed of my Father, 
    inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning.
