The Life and Ministry of the French Carmelite Mystic
Elizabeth of the Trinity

Father Mitch Pacwa interviews our own Dr. Anthony Lilles on the life and ministry of the French Carmelite Mystic who will be canonized tomorrow, Sunday October 16, 2016: Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906). Her canonization will be aired live on EWTN at 4:15 a.m. Eastern time.

Dr. Lilles first came across her writings when he was studying the theology of St. John Paul II. Besides the indwelling of the Trinity, Dr. Lilles discusses Elizabeth of the Trinity’s mission in heaven and what kind of help to ask this new saint for. Other topics are prayer, silence, trust, spending time with the Lord, humility, living by faith and why Elizabeth of the Trinity is so important for our times today.
