Let us pray with Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
Let's ask Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity to help us share in the Joy of the Holy Trinity by becoming a “Temple of God ”.
“With Elizabeth of the Trinity, a new light shines for us, a new guiding light, true and faithful, is now present in our world so filled with falsehood, darkness and doubt.”
- Saint John-Paul II, 11/25/1984.
Short biography of Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
Elizabeth Catez was born on July 18, 1880 on the Military base of Avord, neat Bourges, France, where her father was posted. She was baptized on July 22, 1880. The Catez Family settled in the city of Dijon when Elizabeth turned 2 years old. Elizabeth was an irascible young girl prone to temper tantrums. She first experienced suffering through grieving for her grandfather who died on January 24, 1887, when she was seven years old, then again experienced sadness when her father who passed away in her arms suffered a heart attack on October 2, of the same year. Elizabeth followed the example of her spiritual sister, Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873-1897) who entered the Carmel, on April 9th 1888. That same summer, precociously like Thérèse of Lisieux, Elizabeth had the intuition of her vocation and declared her intention to enter the Carmel. Struck by the then incurable Addison disease, she suffered a nine-month agony and died at the age of 26, on November 9, 1906. On the eve of her entering the afterlife she said: “I am going to the realm of Light, Love, and Life.” Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity was beatified on November 25th 1984, by Pope John Paul II, and canonized on October 16, 2016 by Pope Francis.
