Jerusalem began as David’s city but ends as God’s eternal home. In Revelation, it becomes the New Jerusalem — where heaven and earth unite and God dwells with His people forever. ✨

John Cunningham Geikie, Presbyterian missionary, on social inequity under King Jeroboam. Fear of re-enslavement threatened peasant wars.

Wikipedia mentions discontent due to extravagances of Solomon, but says God judged for idolatry. As if leaving people in a dread of slavery is neither a judgement nor cause for judgment.

How can you alleviate fears of the dread of slavery among working people?

Quote of the day, 8 December: St. Edith Stein

As Christ himself descended to earth from heaven, so too his Bride, the holy church, originated in heaven. She is born of the grace of God, indeed descended with the Son of God himself; she is inextricably bound to him. She is built of living stones; her cornerstone was laid when the Word of God assumed our human nature in the womb of the Virgin.

At that time there was woven between the soul of the divine Child and the soul of the Virgin Mother the bond of the most intimate unity, which we call betrothal.

Hidden from the entire world, the heavenly Jerusalem had descended to earth. From this first joining in betrothal, there had to be born all the living building blocks to be used for the mighty structure: each individual soul awakened to life through grace. The Bridal Mother was to become the mother of all the redeemed. Like a spore from which new cells stream continually, she was to build up the living city of God.

This hidden mystery was revealed to St. John as he stood beneath the cross with the Virgin Mother and was given over to her as her son. It was then that the church came into existence visibly; her hour had come, but not yet her perfection. She lives, she is wedded to the Lamb, but the hour of the solemn marriage supper will only arrive when the dragon has been completely conquered and the last of the redeemed have fought their battle to the end.

Saint Edith Stein

“As the thirsty doe longs for the springs of fresh water, so my soul longs for You, O God! My soul thirst for the living God! When will I appear before His face!…” (Ps 42:1–2).

And yet, as “the sparrow has found a home,” and “the turtle dove a nest in which she may lay her young” (Ps 84:3), so Laudem Gloriae has found while waiting to be brought to the holy Jerusalem, “beata pacis visio”—her retreat, her beatitude, her anticipated Heaven in which she begins her life of eternity. “In God my soul is silent; my deliverance comes from Him. Yes, He is the rock in which I find salvation, my stronghold, I shall not be disturbed!” (Ps 62:1–2).

This is the mystery my lyre sings of today! My Master has said to me as to Zacchaeus: “Hurry and come down, for I must stay in your house today…” (Lk 19:5). Hurry and come down, but where? Into the innermost depths of my being: after having forsaken self, withdrawn from self, been stripped of self—in a word, without self.

Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

Last Retreat, sixteenth day
31 August 1906

Note: Beata pacis visio (Blessed vision of peace) is a phrase found in the first stanza, second line of the hymn Coelestis urbs Jerusalem, which is sung at Vespers for the Common of the Dedication of a Church. Note that having begun her Last Retreat on the sixteenth of August, the “sixteenth day” is 31 August, on which the Dedication of the Churches of Carmel was celebrated.

The statue of Our Lady of Lourdes on the small table next to Elizabeth is the one that she gave to her mother when entering the monastery. In her final illness, the statue returned to Carmel and Elizabeth called her, “Janua Coeli”, meaning “Gate of Heaven.” Image credit: Discalced Carmelites
