        TO ADORE OUR LORD!

The Franciscan Handmaids of the Immaculate seek daily to draw closer to Our Lord.  Adoration of the Most Holy Sacrament is fundamental to Our spiritual life as we seek to conform our hearts unto His.  Additionally, praying the Liturgy of the Hours, the rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Sorrows, we place ourselves in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, asking Her to bring us closer to Her Son.

We are all little flowers in the eyes of Our Heavenly Father

7/5/2018

Flowers are shining jewels in God's creation - dazzling the eye and uplifting the soul with their beauty.  Ahhh, to be an elegant and fragrant rose, filling the air with sweet aroma - much like a soul in the state of grace.  We can't all be roses, but we have to be what we were created to be; holy and blameless in His sight and in joyful exultation and thanksgiving for his magnificent gifts.
In her autobiography, “Story of a Soul,” St. Therese Lisieux wrote:
“Jesus set before me the book of nature. I understand how all the flowers God had created are beautiful, how the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy. I understand that if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers. So it is in the worlds of souls, Jesus’ garden. He has created smaller ones and those must be content to be daisies or violets destined to give joy to God’s glances when he looks down at his feet.  Perfection consists in doing his will, in being what he wills us to be.”
