Long expected Prince of Peace,
Save us, O Sweet Jesu.
Bouasse Lebel

I am the flower of the field and the lily of the valley.

INFANT JESUS

Infant Jesus, meek and mild

look on me a little child.

Pity mine and pity me,

suffer me to come to Thee.

Heart of Jesus I adore Thee,

heart of Mary, I implore thee,

heart of Joseph pure and just,

in these three hearts

I place my trust.
Amen!

This sweet prayer from long ago was sent to Holy Card Heaven this Christmas by the author of:

O JESUS FULL OF KINDNESS
I want to love you faithfully.

Salvation has been given to us.
Let us unite our songs
with those of the angels.

come into my heart.

 come help me to worship
the Lord of heaven and earth.

Salvation descends
from Heaven for us; 

Let us welcome,
with the Church,
the One who
comes to fulfill
all our desires.

Faith and Love  

The door of heaven will be opened 

to the Christian soul refined by love.

Let us not attach ourselves to the foreign land, 

not search for sweetness, except in the Light.

Hope supports 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.

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.

At death, the Christian soul rises to Heaven.
