St. Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)
Canonized by Pope Francis on October 16, 2016
After years of a simple and radiant Christian life, the young pianist Elizabeth Catez entered the Carmelite convent in Dijon at the age of 21. There she immersed herself in the mystery of the love of Christ for five years and wrote her famous prayer, “O my God, Trinity whom I adore.” Elizabeth left us with a miraculous message about the significance of the interiority and presence of God within us. Her writings help us to live from within in order to radiate divine love outward.
Let us use Lent to “empty out”, that is to rid ourselves of everything that prevents us from living a true life.
Let’s ask Elizabeth:
"Will we ever understand how much we are loved?"
This retreat was compiled in the Carmelite Province of Paris by the Carmelite Fr. Didier-Marie Golay (of the Lisieux convent) and a group from Carmel Dijon-Flavignerot: Dominique, Marie-Noëlle, Kevin, and Fr. Jean-Alexandre (of the Avon convent). The German version was created as a collaboration of the Edith Stein Gesellschaft Austria (the Edith Stein Society of Austria), the Austrian Carmelites, and the Sisters of Mary of Mount Carmel.
You can find further literature in English about St. Elizabeth and her works at the publishing house Institute of Carmelite Studies in Washington, DC: www.icspublications.org/ and at the Carmelite Book Service in the UK.
