CHILD JESUS NOTE CARD & ENVELOPE

CHILD JESUS NOTE CARD & ENVELOPE

• Child Jesus
• Reads:

  Open the Door of your Heart…

• Back of card reads:

  “I told Him to treat me like a little ball of no value that could be thrown on the ground, kicked about, pierced, left lying in a corner, or pressed to His Heart just as it might please Him. In a word I wished to amuse the Holy Child and let Him play with me as He fancied. Here indeed He was answering my prayer. In Rome Jesus pierced His little plaything. He wanted to see what was inside; and then satisfied, He let it drop and went to sleep. And what was He doing during His sweet slumber, and what became of the ball thus cast aside?
  
  Jesus dreamed that He was still at play, that He took it up and threw it down, that He rolled it far away, but at last He pressed it to His Heart, not to again let it slip from His tiny Hand. Dear Mother, you can imagine the sadness of the little ball neglected on the ground! And yet it continued to hope against hope.”
  — Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, “The Story of a Soul”
