“But in order that you should have life, it is not enough that My Son should have become the Bridge, unless you pass over this Bridge.”

~ God the Father to St. Catherine of Siena in The Dialogue 

As fragile as the wings of a butterfly, this delicate piece of paper lace also alludes to the metaphor of the bridge. In the dialogues St. Catherine of Sienna, Jesus Christ was described as the magnificent bridge between heaven and earth.

The Way of the Cross leads to divine light.

"We adore Thee, Oh Christ, and we bless Thee. 

Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world." 

This prayer is  prayed universally 

both in the Church in the East 

and the Church in the the West.

ENLARGING THE HEART




Our thanks to Dr. Arnold Pieri 
for this beautiful holy card 
that he kept from childhood.

The Cross draws my heart.

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

My child,

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.

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.
