Trials..........February 19







"Trials help greatly to detach us from earth. They make us look to God,
rather than to this world."

St. Therese of Lisieux

  3. What a treasured holy card. It is good to gaze at a holy card like this and just meditate on how much He suffered for us.
    Thankyou, Micki!

  5. this is one of my favorite images of Jesus. Although it is sad, it reminds me how much He loved us to go to the point of such suffering. How precious each of us are to Him. May I learn to always Thank Jesus for His Love, Faithfulness and giving me Salvation! Let Me die to myself more each day so that it is Jesus that is born in me! John K.

    Anonymous - It takes a great person to thank God for our trials. Thanks.


    John K. - Yes, could we go so far also. For me....I doubt it, or at least, not without complaints. Forgive me Jesus.
