The Cross draws my heart.

PROTECTOR OF INNOCENCE
St. Joseph, like the Divine Jesus,
carry me in your arms.

St. Joseph

Angel of Heavenly Union

In listening to the voice of the Angel, I hear

the call of God.

The Divine Gardner gives the young shrub
a guardian to support it.  

The frail sapling needs a stand and a support
against the dangers to which it is exposed.

SPEAK, LORD. YOUR SERVANT IS LISTENING

The Reefs Avioded

My child,  
watch with me ... 

One must watch and pray without ceasing.

The Rescue

Even though a soul becomes shipwrecked;

if she believes in Me, I will save her.

Let us go to Jesus through the Cross and through prayer.

Adoration 

of the Holy Face

Small album:

Holy Face

The Way of the Cross
leads to divine light.

My Good Angel, help me to understand

the merits of the Cross.

A few days still, and we will be united in Heaven.

For you the Crown in Heaven.

For me the Thought on earth.

This card is for
Sheila of blessed memory,

born on this day
in 1892.

The gift of piety
is to love prayer
more and more.

Jesus will give me
the robe of innocence.

Good St. Joseph, I offer you my heart to give to Jesus.

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.

 

Jesus, our refuge

Sweetness is pleasing to God

MODEL OF SOULS

Mary & Joseph, grant that my love for Jesus may equal your own.
