Nest of the Dove

I will retire into solitude and there I will listen to what the Lord tells me.

O my Jesus, how dry the heart that moves away from you.

Let us draw from this divine source 

that always overflows and never runs out.

Related tangentially to  this image, I share the beautiful words Fr. Lawrence shared at Mass this morning:
"Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God; but only he who sees, takes off his shoes – the rest sit round it and pluck blackberries." elizabeth barrett browning

The Divine Gardener

The heart that is watered by the tears of the Heart of Jesus

will by its sweet fragrance enrapture the Church on earth

and in Heaven.

The Divine Master sprinkles and makes fruitful
this visit of His choice.

I am the Fountain of Living Water which brings the virtues into being.

O my Jesus, how dry the heart that moves away from You.

Christ loved us and washed us in his Blood.

CHRIST LOVED US AND WASHED US IN HIS BLOOD.

In the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we find life,
and the way to heaven.

AS THE FATHER 

HAS LOVED ME, 

SO I LOVE YOU.

 John 15:9

To rest on your heart,  

O Jesus, 

is  all my happiness.

THROUGH JESUS
I RAISE MY HEART
IN PRAYER.

Through my heart,
flooded by Divine Light,
allow the incense of
the prayers to evaporate.

PATER noster, 
qui es in caelis, 
sanctificetur nomen tuum. 
Adveniat regnum tuum. 
Fiat voluntas tua, 
sicut in caelo et in terra...
