Carmelite QuotesQuote of the day, 12 January: St. John of the Cross<blockquote>Where have you hidden, Beloved, and left me moaning? you fled like the stag after wounding me; I went out calling you, but you were gone.The Spiritual Canticle, stanza 1</blockquote> The soul’s chief aim in this verse is not to ask for sensible devotion, in which there is neither certain nor clear possession of the Bridegroom in this life, but for the manifest presence and vision of his divine essence, in which she desires to be secure and satisfied in the next life.The bride of the divine Song of Songs had this very idea when, longing for union with the divinity of the Word, her Bridegroom, she asked the Father: Show me where you pasture and where you rest at midday [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Song%20of%20Solomon%201%3A7" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Song 1:7</a>]. In requesting him to disclose his place of pasture, she wanted him to reveal the essence of the divine Word, his Son. For the Father does not pasture anywhere else than in his only Son, for the Son is the glory of the Father. And in begging that he show her his place of rest, she was asking to see that same Son.The Son is the only delight of the Father, who rests nowhere else nor is present in any other than in his beloved Son. He rests wholly in his Son, communicating to him his essence at midday, which is eternity, where he ever begets him and has begotten him.When the soul, the bride, cries: “Where have you hidden?” she seeks this pasture, the Word, her Bridegroom, where the Father feeds in infinite glory, and she seeks the flowering bosom where he rests with infinite delight of love, deeply hidden from every mortal eye and every creature.Saint John of the CrossThe Spiritual Canticle, st. 1, no. 5 John of the Cross, St. 1991, The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross, Revised Edition, translated from the Spanish by Kavanaugh, K and Rodriguez, O with revisions and introductions by Kavanaugh, K, <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.icspublications.org/products/the-collected-works-of-st-john-of-the-cross" target="_blank">ICS Publications</a>, Washington DC.Featured image: This <a href="https://cbehblog.wordpress.com/histoire-de-beaune/la-collegiale-notre-dame-de-beaune/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">stained glass window</a>, depicting the <a href="https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Beaune_%2821%29_Basilique_Notre-Dame_-_Int%C3%A9rieur_-_Baie_20_-_01.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Baptism of Christ</a>, was crafted around 1900 by master stained glass artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89douard_Didron" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Édouard Didron</a>.

Carmelite Quotes“Father, I will that where I am they also whom You have given Me may be with Me, in order that they may behold My glory which You have given Me, because You have loved Me before the creation of the world” [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/John%2017:24" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">John 17:24</a>]. Such is Christ’s last wish, His supreme prayer before returning to His Father. He wills that where He is we should be also, not only for eternity, but already in time, which is eternity begun and still in progress. It is important then to know where we must live with Him in order to realize His divine dream. “The place where the Son of God is hidden is the bosom of the Father, or the divine Essence, invisible to every mortal eye, unattainable by every human intellect” [Kavanaugh/Rodriguez translation: “The hiding place of the Word of God is, as St. John asserts [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/John%201:18" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jn. 1:18</a>], the bosom of the Father, that is, the divine essence, which is alien to every mortal eye and hidden from every human intellect], as Isaiah said: “Truly You are a hidden God” [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Isaiah%2045:15" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Is 45:15</a>]. And yet His will is that we should be established in Him, that we should live where He lives, in the unity of love; that we should be, so to speak, His own shadow [Ruysbroeck: “Our shadow accompanies us everywhere. . . . That is the way love follows God. . . .”]. By baptism, says St. Paul, we have been united to Jesus Christ [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rom+6%3A4-5&version=NRSVCE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rom 6:4–5</a>]. And again: “God seated us together in Heaven in Christ Jesus, that He might show in the ages to come the riches of His grace” [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=eph+2%3A6-7&version=NRSVCE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Eph 2:6–7</a>]. And further on: “You are no longer guests or strangers, but you belong to the City of saints and the House of God” [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Ephesians%202:19" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Eph 2:19</a>]. The Trinity—this is our dwelling, our “home,” the Father’s house that we must never leave. The Master said one day: “The slave does not remain with the household forever, but the son remains there forever” (St. John) [<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/John%208:35" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jn 8:35</a>].Saint Elizabeth of the TrinityHeaven in Faith, First Day Early August, 1906 <a href="https://carmelitequotes.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/sabeth-guite-small.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>St. Elizabeth wrote “Heaven in Faith” for her younger sister, Marguerite Marguerite and Elisabeth Catez (c. 1899) Elizabeth of the Trinity, S 2014, I Have Found God, The Complete Works of Elizabeth of the Trinity Volume 1: Major spiritual writings, translated from the French by Kane, A, <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.icspublications.org/products/the-complete-works-of-elizabeth-of-the-trinity-vol-1-major-spiritual-writings" target="_blank">ICS Publications</a>, Washington DC.Featured image: All photos courtesy of the Discalced Carmelites <a href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/2023/11/07/sabeth-hf1/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://carmelitequotes.blog/2023/11/07/sabeth-hf1/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/dwelling/" target="_blank">#dwelling</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/eternity/" target="_blank">#eternity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/faith/" target="_blank">#faith</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/heaven/" target="_blank">#heaven</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/holy-trinity/" target="_blank">#HolyTrinity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/prayer/" target="_blank">#prayer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/son-of-god/" target="_blank">#SonOfGod</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/st-elizabeth-of-the-trinity/" target="_blank">#StElizabethOfTheTrinity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/tag/will-of-god/" target="_blank">#willOfGod</a>
