Elizabeth of the Trinity: The Unfolding of Her Message

Among the Church's many saints and blesseds, Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906) is one of the most attractive and encouraging for our times. Author of the classic prayer, 'O my God, Trinity whom I adore', she was a shining example of these words which she wrote at the age of twenty: 'even in the midst of the world one can listen to Him in the silence of a heart that wants to belong only to Him!'

Elizabeth was known for her sparkling vitality, her vibrant social life, her skill at the piano, and especially her love of prayer. She had many close friends, but the passion of her life was Jesus and it was this love that led her to the Carmel of Dijon where, after many trials but also profound joys, she died at the age of only twenty-six: a witness to the Trinity dwelling within each of us, and to God's call for us to be with him at every moment - both now and in eternity.

Here, in the second volume of this informative, engaging and inspiring book, we accompany Elizabeth in the final months of her life as she followed Jesus on the way of the cross with courage, dignity and unshakable love. We witness, too, the impact of Elizabeth's message after her death: the books she has inspired, and the countless lives she has touched.
