St. Elizabeth of Hungary Feast Day: 19 November St. Elizabeth of Hungary Feast day: 19 November Stations of a life Elizabeth, landgravine of Thuringia, died in Marburg, over 770 years ago, on 17 November 1231, at the age of 24. Scarcely four years later, at Whitsun (Pente- cost) in the year 1235, Elizabeth was canonized by Pope Gregory IX in the church of St. Dominic in Perugia. And an other ten years later, an inscription was at- tached to the golden shrine in Marburg that held her relics for three centuries, llntil1548: "Gloria Teutoniae" -"Ruhm der deutschen Lande" (glory of the Ger- man lands). -In such respect was this holy woman held, not' only at the Wartburg in Thuringia, not only in Marburg, her last place of her activity, but far beyond the borders of the empire. Elisabeth was greatly revered in Bavaria from the first, above all in. Andechs, for her mother! came from the Andechs dynasty, and soon after' her death Elisabeth joined the saints and beatified members of this proud and noble family as one of the brightest and most beautiful stars in what is called the "Andechser Himmel" (Andechs Sky/Heaven of Saints). The Andechser Himmel Andechs -church and monastery. Copperplate engraving by Matthaus Merian 1644 This "Andechser Himmel" is something extraordinary, even for the High Middle Ages. The unusually large number of saintly men and women produced by this powerful family of counts, living in Diessen and on the Andechs mountain. 1 2 has stirred the mind of the local people again and again, occupied historians and Hueber reports: inspired artistic genius.

" trieve the history of the Andechs dynasty and its saints from oblivion and set it in "bright light". Relics in Andechs The "old chronicles" really do try to emphasise the close relationship between Andechs and Elizabeth. Even in the very early days of the monastery on the holy mountain, the descriptions of the relics associate four items with St. Elizabeth; two of these, her wedding dress and a pectoral cross, are still shown to pilgrims and visitors in the Gothic reliquary chapel. The 1518 inventory of relics reports "The grey piece, line d with green dam- ask, is part of the dress of St. Elizabeth that she gave to the church for liturgical vestments; her mother Gertrude, Queen of Hungary, wore it at her coronation ... It was also St. Elizabeth's wedding dress, in which the holy relic was found, together with the holy sacrament, and it lay under the ground for one hundred and fifty- nine years." St. Elizabeth's weddingdress from the Andechs reliquary chamber (text p. 3) The material of this dress really does date from the 12th century, but the little cross, said to have been a present from Pope Gregory IX to Elizabeth, is much newer. The fact that it is said to have belonged to Elizabeth shows what efforts St. Elizabeth as a savereign (crown) and benefactress (bread in her were made to find tangible links to this member of the house of Andechs in partic- hand) at the high altar of the Andechs monastery church, J.

  • Silver Rose Prayer Service Booklets
    SilverKnights of Columbus Rose Prayer Service Booklet Faith in Action Life History of the Silver Rose Our Lady of Guadalupe did so much for her people in Mexico that, in 1960, the Columbian Squires, a youth organization of the Knights of Columbus, wanted to give something back to her. The group of young men in Knights of Columbus Council 2312 in Monterrey, Mexico, came up with the idea of running a rose to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico. The rose was chosen to commemorate Juan Diego and the miracle of the roses, an important part of the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The first rose was a natural rose and was blessed by Bishop John C. Cody of London. It was then flown to New York where it was received by Grand Knight Joseph Thomasen, who in turn, took it to Supreme Knight Luke E. Hart. Mr. Hart then shepherded the rose to Dallas, Texas. There, Texas State Deputy Jack Collerin received the rose and took it to Laredo, Texas, where it was finally given to the Squires from Monterrey, Mexico, at the International Bridge in Laredo. They ran the rose from the International Bridge through Sabinas Hidalgo N.L., Mexico, to Cienega de Flores and on to the Basilica in Monterrey, Mexico, on December 12, 1960.

The rose was chosen to commemorate Juan Diego and the miracle of the roses, an im- portant part of the story of our Lady of Guadalupe. This single gesture, first a single red rose and now a silver rose, has flown around the world, and traveled through many US States, and now comes to Blessed Trinity. “Through the Silver Rose Program, we honor not only Our Lady of Guadalupe and express the unity of the Knights of Columbus, but we also reaffirm our dedication to the sanctity of human life. It is to the Blessed Mother that we turn in prayer as we work to end the Culture of Death that grips our society. As we think of ‘One Life, One Rose,’ it is most appropriate that we turn to Our Lady of Guadalupe who made known her will through Juan Diego, and the miracle of the roses. This is your invitation to come and pray with us.” ~Past Supreme Knight Carl Anderson Page 2 Prayer to Mary for more holy priests PASTOR Rev. Wayne C.
