Vigil of the Feast of Corpus Christi, June 21, 2014

The Master is come, and calleth for thee ~ John 11*
“He is calling you today with more insistence and tenderness; it is urgent to unite His divinity to your humanity. He wants to give you a greater share of the treasures
contained in the sacrament of his love.” Fr. Ludy, S.C.

*John 11 recounts the story of Lazarus who Jesus called back to life after 3 days in the tomb. The words, “The Master is come, and calleth for thee.” are spoken by Martha to Mary, the sister of Lazarus. They are rephrased when Jesus calls Lazarus from the tomb “Lazarus, come forth.”
In the Eucharist, the Lord calls each of us to come to Him and receive  eternal life.

Come to My Heart.

Refuge of the dove.

I wish to hide you in my Heart, faithful soul, my good friend.

L. Turgis

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

Sweet Mary, Mother dear, pray for us.

I have but my heart. 

Take it, O, Mary, with all its weaknesses 

and fill it with grace for eternal life.
