THE CROSS
Through it we have salvation.

About the Feast Day

The Vine of God's own Heart
Desires and implores The Sun.
It expects everything FROM HIM... Nothing has meaning WITHOUT HIM... It seeks HIM ONLY.

Fervent Communions.
Letaille

In You, my God, I trust. Alas! Everything on earth passes away. Everything comes to an end.
