*Lenten Fast..........March 16






O Lord,
may your grace bring us the fruitful effects
of our devoted love,
for the Lenten fast that we observe
will be of profit to us only it it pleases you.

Friends,

Here is a translation of the card's French words:

[Around the Holy Face:]
Apostasy ... Ingratitude ... Scandals ... Abandonment ... Indifference ... Contempt ... Blasphemy ...

[At the bottom:]
A DAILY OFFENSE!

Another touching and sad card depicting Our Saviour during His sorrowful passion. All done out of Love for us His children who often repay Him with all of the words that surround today's holy card. I am grateful to John who so kindly offters his gift to interpret language on the cards so often. Bringing a new meaning to reflect upon. Thank you for sharing your collection with the rest of us to enjoy!! John K.
