Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)

Born Élisabeth Catez in France, she entered the Dijon Carmel on August 2, 1901. She said, “I find Him everywhere while doing the wash as well as while praying.” Her time in the Carmel had some high times as well as some very low times. Today, we know about all that she felt and experienced in her writings. She wrote down when she felt she needed a richer understanding of God’s great love. At the end of her life, she began to call herself Laudem Gloriæ. Elizabeth had wanted to be called that in Heaven because it means “praise of glory”. She said, “I think that in Heaven my mission will be to draw souls by helping them to go out of themselves in order to cling to God by a wholly simple and loving movement, and to keep them in this great silence within which will allow God to communicate Himself to them and to transform them into Himself.” Elizabeth died at the age of 26 from Addison’s disease, which in the early 20th century had no cure. Even though her death was unbearable, Elizabeth still accepted that God gave her that gift and was grateful. Her last words were, “I am going to Light, to Love, to Life!” She was beatified in 1984.
