O my jesus is how dry the heart that moves away  
from you.

Sweet Savior,
to know you
is to love you
and to prefer you
above all.

THROUGH JESUS I RAISE MY HEART IN PRAYER.

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

JESUS MARY JOSEPH

Teach us how
to share the suffering.

Fruit of Love

Love is helping the poor 

and blessing our greatest enemy 

because they are our brothers, 

and that is the only way 
to please God.

Jesus is the Divine Gardener
of Our Hearts

Every Friday night 

holds a little angel awake with Your image.

M. Spotl Ars Sacra 3055

Christ, the Divine Gardner, is depicted here within the heart of the believer gently and carefully working to uproot the weeds that mar its beauty.

WAKE UP
It is time to think of Jesus.
Bouasse Lebel, Pl.1411


And a wonderful way to "wake up and think of Jesus" during the Lenten season is to visit  ENLARGING THE HEART ~ Mark Armitage's gracious offering of devotional readings from the early fathers and the saints.

Holy guardian angels,
watch over us as our
Lenten journey begins...

Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus 

Small Album: The Holy Face 

The Feast Day of the Holy Face of Jesus is observed on Shrove Tuesday, a movable feast celebrated this year Liturgical Year on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015




The name "Shrove Tuesday" is derived from the custom of confessing sins and being "shriven" (absolved) just before Lent.

Give Me, my child, your heart. Proverbs 23:26

Sts. Cyril and Methodius: Feast Day, February 14

By you O Mother and Virgin, heaven trembles with elation and the angels and the archangels rejoice. ~St Cyril
Sts. Cyril and Methodius, Co- Patrons (with St Benedict, St Edith Stein, and St Bridget of Sweden) of Europe
"...the funeral Mass was held in all three liturgical languages: Latin, Greek, and Slavonic.  Rivers of faithful who had received Christ through the achievements of these two missionaries flowed for days as they paid their respects after the funeral.Their lives are a testimony of love, pure and simple.  They loved their God and the souls they served more than themselves, and so they gave their lives in honor of that love.  Such is the perfect valentine, if you ask me.  So I say again what I already said, and I mean it: have a very happy Valentine’s Day, today and every day.

First Friday

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.
