Faith and Love  
The door of heaven will be opened 
to the Christian soul refined by love.

Let us not attach ourselves to the foreign land, 
not search for sweetness, except in the Light.

The End of the Voyage
It is night. We are gaining the port...
We touch it: ALLELULIA!

Courage, Courage
We will get there.

The Sheep of Heaven
Happy are those who aspire to heaven.

HERE IS THE ROYAL ROAD OF THE CROSS 
Faith enlightens us, Hope supports us, Love draws us.

O blessed City!

The path that leads to life is narrow and difficult,
but whatever it costs me there will I go.

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.

    GOD WANTS IT!  
    Approaching, it happens.
    This angelic image appears to symbolize heart and soul, 
    refined by God's love, received into Heaven
