Oh, when will I go, when will I fly to the bosom of my God?

I will retire into solitude and there I will listen to what the Lord tells me.

JESUS, KING OF SILENCE 

At the court of Jesus, the celebrations of the heart 

take place in meditation and contemplation.

For it heaven they will be consoled.

When will I fly there?

FOR ALL IS THE HEART OF JESUS OPEN

Resting Place in the Wild

The Heart of Jesus is a place of peace for the poor wanderer

through this life.

L. Turgis 589

PRAYER OF QUIETUDE

The Soul Alone with God

My Divine Master, whether I run or rest,

I am all to You, and You are all to me.

O divine Heart of  Jesus, your memory is my delight;

I hunger and thirst for your love.

Lord, teach me your ways and show me your paths.

In order not to go astray, let us take Mary as our guide.

ALONE WITH GOD

At the foot of the Cross in the livery of Mary. 

O, the sweet retreat! 

Bouasse Lebel 1761

I rest in peace in the heart of Mary.

The Brook lost in the River

My Lord and my God

~St. Thomas [the Apostle]

Eucharistic symbol also possibly alludes to the commentary on Sirach 14:40-42  in the writing of St. Thomas Aquinas

The Eucharist and Solitude

O Christian soul, let be the desert, if you ask to Heaven
to rain on you, the Eucharistic manna

Source of Grace, I come to drink from your divine waters.

Langlume

PEACE, DETACHMENT

Let those who thirst come to Me. John 7:37

Bonamy

Solitude is the nourishment of fervor.

The Bath of the Dove

Taste and see how good is the Lord to those who love him.

Letaille, Paris

Detaching myself from creatures to look for God, I rest in God Himself...

This is the whole interior life. Leaving everything, I found Everything!

Letaille, Paris

The Eucharist is the Life of the World. 
Do not try to fight against the violence of the waves, rather retire to the quiet on the bank of our holy Eucharistic Shrine. Bonamy

Love Search
Lord who sought me when I fled,
will you flee me now that I look for you?

The Lord's loving answer is in the image.

There, recollected and alone, in the Heart of Jesus I lose myself.
Letaille

I am attached to Him.

Nothing can separate me.

I place a your feet my joys and my sorrows.

Oh that I had the wings of the dove

for I would fly away and be a rest.
