17th November - Saint Elizabeth of Hungary
How could I bear a crown of gold when the Lord bears a crown of thorns? And bears it for me!
I want to adorn myself, not out of worldly pride, but for love of God alone - in a fitting manner, however, so as to give my husband no cause to sin, if something about me were to displease him. Only let him love me in the Lord, with a chaste, marital affection, so that we, in the same way, might hope for the reward of eternal life from him who has sanctified the law of marriage - Saint Elizabeth of Hungary
