I mean I seen this website all the time but who was she? and why did they make a website about her?

[tnavarro61]

maybe one of the pioneer nuns in a new foundation?

[color="#333333"][font="georgia, arial, sans-serif"][size="2"]She became Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity. She had a fiery temper but then turned it around and made it into passionate love for Jesus and God in order to pursue a religious vocation with the Carmelites. Unfortunately, at the young age of 26 she died of [/size][/font][/color][color="#333333"][font="Verdana, sans-serif"][size="2"]Addison's disease. She was eventually beatified.[/size][/font][/color]

Whoa!! What?!

I guess never paid much attention... but Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity is an American saint? FROM ALLENTOWN, PA?!!!!!

Mind blown.

Thanks.

This is not Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity-- she entered the Carmel in Dijon, France and was born in the late 1800's. She died in 1906. She was also a discalced Carmelite, and did not belong to an O.Carm. So...good question! I'm guessing she might be one of the foundresses as tnavarro mentioned..

Hmmm...I think I read something incorrectly...

Wishful thinking though! That would be so awesome to have Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity as an American saint...

Us Quebecois, in Montreal Canada, just earned a Saint this year with Brother Andre! So, it's time for an American one, Jess. Maybe it will be you? [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/saint.gif[/img]

The U.S already has its first native born saint St Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821)

The funny thing about Brother Andre was that I had been wondering if Canada had any native born saints yet then a few months later he was canonized

Awesome. I knew they had one but what I meant is for a modern one
