Back of card: A True Story Related on the Feast of the Nativity, 1925 A young lady, while making a retreat at a convent, was permitted by the Sister Sacristan to arrange the flowers on the altar. One day, a friend sent a great quantity of lilies-of-the-valley. Miss X arranged them and placed them on the tabernacle and humbly offered these lovely flowers to the Sacred Heart. The following day during her visit to the Blessed Sacrament, after admiring God’s beautiful flowers, she wished she had some others to present to Him and wondered what kind He would like “today”, when an interior voice distinctly said, “Forget-Me-not”. The next day when she made her visit, she said: “Dear Jesus, what kind of flowers would you like today?” Again the little interior voice replied: “Your prayers will be all kinds of flowers, and I will gather the fairest and the sweetest.”
This Christmas, let us offer Our Dear Infant Saviour such a bouquet!
