“The Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a treasure,
hidden in a field.”
Matthew 13:44
“I press on,
hoping that I may lay hold of that,
for which Christ Jesus,
has laid hold of me.”
Philippians 3:12
“He has written us on His Hands,
so as to have us always under His Eyes;
that whoever touches us, touches the apple of His Eye;
that we should never be anxious,
about what we need to live and to clothe ourselves,
that He knows well, we need these things
and takes care of them for us
that He has numbered the hairs on our head
and not one of them will perish
that His Father loves us as He loves Him
and that, He loves us as His Father loves Him
that He Wills that we should be where He is
that is to say, we should be at rest with Him,
in the Breast and Heart of His Father.”
St John Eudes (1601-1680)
The Apostle of the Two Holy Hearts
“Where is the heart which loves?
On the thing it loves.
Therefore, where our love is,
there our heart is held captive.
It cannot leave it; it cannot be lifted higher,
it cannot go either to the right or the left;
see, it is fixed. Where the miser’s treasure is,
there is his heart and where our heart is,
there is our treasure.
And what is so deplorable is
that the things which hold us in servitude,
are, for the most part, such unworthy things!”
St Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)
