Love's interior...

  "May my life be a continual prayer, 
long act of love."- St Elizabeth of the Trinity

"Love draws its object into itself;
we draw Jesus into ourselves; 
Jesus draws us into Himself.
Then carried above ourselves into love's interior,
seeking God, we go to meet Him, to meet His Spirit, 
which is His love, and this love burns us, consumes us, 
and draws us into unity where beatitude awaits us.  
Jesus meant this when He said: 'With great desire 
have I desired to eat this Pasch with you.'"
From Collected Works of Elizabeth of the Trinity, vol 1, pg 100

"O my God, Trinity whom I adore,

St Elizabeth of the Trinity , pray for us!

Last day for special graces of 
a plenary indulgence!
Make every effort 
to visit a cemetery and pray!

During the Octave of All Saints' Day 
(Nov 1 thru Nov 8) any of the faithful,by devoutly 
visiting a cemetery and praying for the departed,
can obtain a plenary indulgence (each day this is done),
applicable to the holy souls in purgatory,
(under the usual conditions for obtaining indulgences).
