The sheep who are always held close to their Pastor are the most favoured. 
He feeds them with a portion of the same food with which He himself is nourished.

Mary is the link that unites us to Jesus.
CHRIST LOVED US AND WASHED US IN HIS BLOOD.

She seeks HIM ONLY.

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: Holy Saturday is the day when many are baptized into Christ.  At the Easter Vigil service, all  Christians renew their Baptismal Promises.

Good Friday 3:00 P.M.

Woman, behold thy son! Son, behold thy mother!
John 19:26-27
Vaurs 374
In this powerful engraving the fallen tree of the knowledge of 
good and evil lies broken and uprooted, like the forked 
tongue of the serpent at the foot of the Cross while in glorious 
contrast, the Easter lilies, like the dawn of Easter,  
rise from earth to heaven proclaiming the victory Christ has won.

Signed in ink on the back, Pr. Jean Bosco, this card may have been in the hands of the saint during his lifetime
That this cross may be sweet to Him,
These torments to Him
would be delicious
if all gathered in the fruit.
Bouasse Lebel 1133

Good Friday

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday)


This image of Judas the betrayer restraining the soldiers while Jesus prays recalls these words by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen:
 
Judas, if true love never ceases, 
how could you, my friend, have come to this?
To sell me for thirty silver pieces, 
betray me with a kiss?
Judas, remember what I've taught you; 
do not despair while hanging on that rope.
It is because you sinned that I have sought you; 
I came to give you hope.
Judas, let's pray and hang together, 
you in your halter, I upon my hill.
Dear friend, even if you loved me never, 
you know I love you still.

Spy Wednesday 2015

FORCE (the prayer is addressed to the Holy Spirit) 
Come, Divine Force, Come and communicate to my soul a little of that courageous will that vanquished all the enemies of salvation.
Mme. Bousse Lebel (very early holy card)
On this day in a past year, Fr. Lawrence asked us to ponder the response of the disciples when Christ told them that one of them would betray Him: "Lord, is it I?" He went on to explain that by their example of humility in the presence of their Lord, we know
