Easter Vigil 2015

Etermal happiness is the recompense of faithful hearts

who are attached to the Cross with love.

First Friday

That I might have the wings of the dove 

with which to fly to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Turgis

Jesus calls us to be near Him.

Let us rest in His Heart.

First Friday

Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Henceforth this adorable Heart will be our unique portion.

The pure soul is the lily that lifts itself from the earth and flowers as high as possible.  The perfume of innocence clothes Jesus, but as the lily entangled with thorns it is made more beautiful, so, in order to render them more pure, God visits with suffering the souls that are consecrated to Him.

Source of Life, delicious beverage, you give immortality.

The Heart of Jesus
watches over
the orphans.

Note:
While the text speaks
of the Heart of Jesus,
sheltering images of
Heart of Mary and
wheat & vine
mingled with
roses & lilies,
add visual poetry
& depth of meaning.
