COME! AND RENEW THE FACE OF THE EARTH

COME! AND RENEW THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

The Gift of Joy

Happy the pure heart. How infinite in the Holy Spirit.
Beside the Living Water through the action of the Holy Spirit, the soul is nourished and purified. Made one with all life in the infinite love of God: this unity is true happiness, it is the expansiveness of joy.
on verso: Bouasse-Lebel 

The Gift of Piety

Solitude is the nourishment of fervor.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful,
and enkindle in them the fire of your love.

Bouasse Lebel

Holy Spirit, sanctify my heart so that all my thoughts be for Jesus my Savior.
Basset

Based on this passage: And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them: And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Spirit gave them to speak” (Acts 2:2).

The Gift of Love

The love of God enflames my heart.

The Gift of Sanctity

In the eastern rite the priest approaches the Altar of Sacrifice with the words, "Now is the time for God to act." These words remind the faithful that in the Liturgy the substance of bread and wine is changed by the action of the Spirit into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and that, as we receive the Energy of the Triune God in the Mystery of the Blessed Sacrament, it is the Sanctifier who acts to change our very being, restoring in us the Image of that which we receive.

The Gift of Unity

Under your eyes, Lord see their union.

On back:

Behold how good it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1

Bourdet, Paris

Durand, Paris

Bouasse Jeune Pl 103

The Gift of Faith

Intelligence is a divine ray that lights in us the flame of faith.
