Friends,
I am having a hard time seeing the second (italic-font) line of French words, but I think that this may be a correct translation of the two lines:
"King of Holy Patience, teach us to suffer with Thee."
(I don't remember ever before seeing the boy Jesus depicted wearing a crown of thorns. It's a striking image.)

Hello to you, dear Micki, and welcome back! And hello to our dear brother, John!
"King of Holy Patience, teach us to suffer with Thee."
I recall a time when I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament. I'm usually quiet there before Him, but that time was different. I just had to unload, so I just went on and on... When I have said all that I needed to say, there was a big pause and the Lord said to me, "Find the joy in all of these." I just burst out laughing. Ha ha ha... What a great sense of humor our God has!
So good you're back, dear Micki!
Oh, this little Jesus breaks my heart. Little King of Holy Patience teach me to suffer all for thee.
Thank you Micki for this beautiful card.

Welcome back Micki
Thanks to all for the friendly "welcome home" messages. I missed you all as you are all part of my "home". :-)
John - "Holy Patience"...wow..that's what I need to pray for.
Easter - What joy you brought me with your telling of your visitation experience. So like you I'm sure. I bet our Lord was laughing with you. I'm still smiling.
Gina - I love your words..."Little King of Holy Patience teach me to suffer all for thee." A prayer I'd like to say more often! Thanks.
Aspiring - Very well said! So much to really put to heart. Certainly much prayer is needed for sure. Thank you also for your compliments.
Ed - Thank you...good to be back.
