My Divine Master, whether I run or rest, I am all to You, and You are all to me. O divine Heart of  Jesus, your memory is my delight; I hunger and thirst for your love.

At the mere sound of my appearing
Once opened the door softly.
There calleth: Come child to me,
Here you will find peace and rest.

HEART OF JESUS ABODE OF THE CONTEMPLATIVE SOUL
I want to expire in the Heart of Jesus.

I am happy with those who are as sweet and gentle as the lamb.

Visit of the Good Master

Jesus, our refuge


FOR ALL IS
THE HEART OF JESUS OPEN

REFUGE OF THE PURE SOUL
Fleeing into the heart of Jesus
the soul finds therein protection against all temptation. 
Turgis 

To rest on your heart, O Jesus, is all my happiness.
Implore God, repent, and you will rest in the Heart of Jesus.
Turgis

THROUGH JESUS I RAISE MY HEART IN PRAYER.
Through my heart, flooded by Divine Light, allow the incense of the prayers to evaporate.
Mon. Bouasse Lebel


Sweetness is pleasing to God

Fruit of Love

Love is helping the poor 
and blessing our greatest enemy 
because they are our brothers, 
and that is the only way 
to please God.
CARITAS
God is Love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God and God in him.
1 John 4:16
Bouasse Lebel M92
Christ, the Divine Gardner, is depicted here within the heart of the believer gently and carefully working to uproot the weeds that mar its beauty.

WAKE UP
It is time to think of Jesus.
Bouasse Lebel, Pl.1411


And a wonderful way to "wake up and think of Jesus" during the Lenten season is to visit  ENLARGING THE HEART ~ Mark Armitage's gracious offering of devotional readings from the early fathers and the saints.

Holy guardian angels,
watch over us as our
Lenten journey begins...

Shrove Tuesday, Feast Day of The Holy Face of Jesus






The Feast Day of the Holy Face of Jesus is observed on Shrove Tuesday, a movable feast celebrated this year Liturgical Year on Tuesday, February 12, 2013




The name "Shrove Tuesday" is derived from the custom of confessing sins and being "shriven" (absolved) just before Lent.
