"Listen in silence
because if your heart is full of other things,
you cannot hear the voice of God...
The essential thing is not what we say,
but what God says to us and through us."
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
French words:
"Go to Jesus, the Victim of love,
in the most blessed Sacrament of the altar."

John - Another beautiful translation. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDiane - It means a lot to me that you always appreciate these posts. Isn't it wonderful how the Lord can use these holy cards for inspiration?
How beautiful !! Lets pray that more of us heed this, and start listening more so we can do his will rather than ours.
ReplyDeleteWOW, What a beautiful quote. I love the holy card as well. Thank you for sharing your exquisite holy cards and readings~Blessings~JMJ~Lisa S.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Following His will is a wonderful goal...we all need His grace to fulfill that goal.
ReplyDeleteLisa - Thank you for your kind words. I love that these cards can touch so many.
I love the text by Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. I am always moved by her words of simplicity yet so deeply meaningful to the soul. Isn't it wonderful also that Jesus loves each of us so tenderly that we have unlimited access to Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament? He is a victim of love, how can any of us repay Him? We must learn to silence our restless and overstimulated senses so that we may hear Him speaking to us in the events of everyday living. That can be in the simple act of smiling at someone or a kind word etc. Sometimes, I believe it is just sitting quite and speaking few words and just loving Him as He is able to read into the inner recesses of our hearts! Let us return love for love!!! May Jesus who is love that know no limits be praised and glorified each and every minute of our lives!!! John K.
