Grains of Gold

LITTLE FLOWER OF JESUS. Little Flower of Jesus, Thou art pledged to shower Roses of rare beauty From thy heavenly bower. Roses white and fragrant, Roses redaglow—- ‘ From the Heart of Jesus, Whence all blessings flow. Little Flower of Jesus, Blooming at His Throne, For our imperfections May thy love atone, Q While thy soul, all perfect, Dwells in ecstacy ’ Through the endless ages Of eternity. Little Flower of Jesus, Blossom set apart, Whisper our petition To His Sacred Heart; From thy shining petals, Wrought of heaven’s gold, Gifts divine, eternal, May the years unfold! k —Mary B. Marti. <X*XXX~X*> REFLECTIONS. Aim at nothing hut loving Jesus and seeking to please Him.—St. Margaret Mary. I know a source where “they that drink shall yet thirst,” but with a delicious thirst, a thirst' one can always allay. That source is the suffering known to Jesus only. The Little Flower. Oh, that I could find words to tell of the reward that they will receive from this Adorable Heart, who employ themselves, in making it known and loved.—Saint Margaret Mary. The way to please God is to perform our own duties — not those of other people, with whom we have nothing to do. ■ -*
