In the language of flowers, this striking plant represents an exotic and profound longing - a heart that is wide open and stretching toward its Source. The high-resolution macro photography of the Hibiscus captures its vibrant, expansive petals and prominent stamen, serving as a visual metaphor for the soul’s deepest hunger to be filled, prepared, and ultimately possessed by the King of Heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Prayer: A Hunger for the King of Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Act of Desire is a fervent, heart-felt preparation for the reception of our Lord. It is a prayer of holy impatience, designed to stir the spirit before the arrival of the Redeemer. By reciting these words, the faithful soul invites Jesus to take full possession of their heart, explicitly uniting their own communion with the fervor of the most holy saints and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is a humble appeal to the Blessed Mother, asking that she present us to her Son, that He may look upon us with a loving eye and unite Himself to us as closely as He did when He was first cradled in her most pure hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA Traditio Designs Exclusive Collection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis card is part of an exclusive 31-day series of \"Act Prayers\" composed and designed entirely by Traditio Designs.
