"It is such a folly to pass one's time fretting instead of resting quietly on the heart of Jesus."
St. Therese of Lisieux

Jesus Christ is the vine. We are the branches.
"Truly, I say to you: If two of you agree on Earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." (Matthew 18:19)
LEFT-FRONT FLAP:
The greatest proof of love is to suffer and die for him whom one loves.
CENTER:
Love one another as I have loved you.
RIGHT-FRONT FLAP:
[Sorry, meaning uncertain, but possibly:] One loves as much as he has charity, for God abides in him.
RIGHT-REAR FLAP (words that are visible):
Union of sufferings.
Let us arm ourselves with courage. The Lord is good. It is He who gives strength in the day of tribulation.
As a mother caresses her child, even so shall I comfort you, says the Lord.

Wow Micki! What a "rare gem" I have a couple of holy cards that are tri-fold, they are quiet special! I love the quote by Ste. Therese de Lisieux, she is one of my favorite Saints, along with St. Terese of the Andes; also a Carmelite. May Jesus give each of us His grace to pick up our crosses daily and follow Him into Eternity! He is our Joy, Peace and Love! John K.

John - Thank you....hope people read the comments to read these words....I don't have enough room to put on the front.
John K. - Thank you for always having such inspiring words to add to these cards. Glad you have some 5-folds too....they are so neat and it's hard to believe they could be printed like that way back when.
