“Without [these] lights and [this] little throne our Lord cannot come out of His tabernacle. We give them to Him, and we say to Him: 'Thou are on a beautiful throne. It is we that have erected it for Thee. It is we that have opened the door of Thy prison and rent the cloud that hid Thee, O Sun of Love. Dart Thy rays now on every heart'” GivingHeartLittlesLightBeautifulLordSunDoorsPrisonCloudsTheeRaysThronesSacramentsOur Lord Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“When later he [St. Joseph] carried the Child in his arms, acts of loving faith welled up constantly in his heart. It was a worship that pleased our Lord more than that which he receives in heaven. Picture to yourself Saint Joseph, adoring the little Child in his arms as his God. He tells of his readiness to die for Christ, of all his plans to promote Christ's glory, and to win more souls to his love. No lover builds more scintillating plans for his loved one than a saint.” HeartChildrenLittlesSoulDiesWinningHeavenChristLordPlansArmsLoversWorshipGlorySaintLoved OnesSacramentsHis LoveOur LordReadiness Author:Peter Julian Eymard
