Transcription
Jesus has his feet nailed to the cross to soften our hearts; his arms extended to receive us; his side opened and his heart wounded to pour out upon us this graces, his head bent to give us the kiss of peace. My only hope. (front) Mother. Souvenir de ma profession religieuse Soeur Marie Ernest et de ma prise d'habit. 22 juillet 1929. Soeur St. Denis. (back)
