Trinity Sunday, 2014

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

Sacred Heart

Collage on paper lace

Jesus meek and humble of heart
Make our heart like unto your own.

At the mere sound of my appearing

Once opened the door softly.
There calleth: Come child to me,
Here you will find peace and rest.

Sacred Heart of Jesus
