I AM THE 

CONQUEROR OF HEARTS

Bouasse Lebel

Jesus,
Doctor of Evangelists

Faith and Love  

The door of heaven will be opened 

to the Christian soul refined by love. 

Basset

Let us not attach ourselves to the foreign land, 

not search for sweetness, except in the Light.

The End of the Voyage

It is night. We are gaining the port...

We touch it: ALLELULIA!

Courage, Courage
We will get there.

on verso

The Sheep of Heaven

Happy are those who aspire to heaven.

Bouasse Lebel

HERE IS THE ROYAL ROAD OF THE CROSS 

Faith enlightens us, Hope supports us, Love draws us. 

Chez Ch. Letaille, Paris

My heart  

burns with the desire 

to live in your courts, 

O blessed City!

The path that leads to life is narrow and difficult,
but whatever it costs me there will I go.

Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, November 9

Nest of the Dove
I retire into solitude, and there listen to what the Lord says to me.
Letaille 

Teresa of Avila often referred to the Carmelite monestaries as the Dovecotes of Our Lady. For that reason, and because, like St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity lived near Paris during the time in which most of the cards in this collection were published, I looked for one for her feast day that I hope expresses something of the Carmelite charism she so beautifully embodied:

•  Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity - daily quotations
• Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity - Praise of His Glory
• BL. ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY
• Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, the Saint of the Divine Indwelling 
•   Living in the Image of his Glory - ENLARGING THE HEART
  
• Substitute Yourself in Me that My Life may Become but a Reflection of Your Life ~ ENLARGING THE HEART
  

Come, blessed of my Father.
These crowns belong to you: 

Faith, Hope, Love, Chastity, Sweetness, Humility,  
 Lejeune

Based on Matt. 25:34  
Come, ye blessed of my Father, 

inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning.

GOD WANTS IT!  

Approaching, it happens.

This angelic image appears to symbolize heart and soul, 

refined by God's love, received into Heaven

Like the bird, our souls have wings with which to fly toward heaven.
