Faith and Love  
The door of heaven will be opened 
to the Christian soul refined by love. 
Basset
Let us not attach ourselves to the foreign land, 
not search for sweetness, except in the Light.

HERE IS THE ROYAL ROAD OF THE CROSS
Faith enlightens us,

Love draws us.

Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Feast Day, November 21


This beautiful feast is observed on the same date both by the Church in the East and in the West.

Today, the most pure temple of the Savior, the precious bridal chamber and Virgin, the sacred treasure of God, enters the house of the Lord, bringing the grace of the Divine Spirit. The Angels of God praise her. She is the heavenly tabernacle. 
Kontakion - sung in the Greek Orthodox Church on this Feast Day.   
Presentation of the Theotokos

The Carmelite Order recalls with joy that on this day in 1904 Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity composed her beloved Prayer to the Trinity.
From an article on the meaning of this Feast by Fr. James McCaffrey, OCD.

St. Gertrude the Great: Feast Day, November 16

Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

Our Lord dictated the following prayer to St. Gertrude the Great to release 1,000 Souls from Purgatory each times it is said:

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.


St. Gertrude the Great 
St. Gertrude the Great Abbess
From these sources we learn that St. Teresa of Avila "chose her as her model and guide" and " sought her intercessory prayer often."

"Look at my heart,
and it will be your
temple."
~St. Gertrude

Grant, O my God, that my prayer, like a sweet melody, rises to you, so that it draws on all whom I love a merciful glance.

Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity: Memorial, November 8


BL. ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, the Saint of the Divine Indwelling
DAILY QUOTATIONS~Bl. Elizabeth
Elizabeth, the House of God 
The Fellowship of His Suffering 
Elizabeth of the Trinity and St. Paul
Note:St. Teresa of Avila often referred to the Carmelite monestaries as the Dovecotes of Our Lady. For that reason, and because, like St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity lived near Paris during the time in which most of the cards in this collection were published, I looked for one for her feast day that I hope expresses something of the Carmelite charism she so perfectly embodied:
Nest of the Dove
I retire into solitude, and there listen to what the Lord says to me.
Letaille

THE DIVINE PILOT 12 The End of the Voyage. The night is here, we gain the port… We touch it: Alleluia!

"It rests the soul to think how heaven is the Father's
house; that there He awaits us as beloved children" ~ Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity

The Divine Pilot


YOU ARE ALL CALLED
TO HAPPINESS!   
Poor sinner, 
why flee the true path?
Even so, the Good Shepherd himself wants to guide you.  
Bouasse Lebel 1346





Note: Through the trinitarian symbol above the Gate of Heaven it seems the artist is showing us that even as the Uncreated Light of the Holy Trinity is calling to us from Eternity, we need guidance of the Good Shepherd, God Incarnate, to lead us safely home.
