Saint of the Month St Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity June 7th, 2020 Saint of the Month St. Elizabeth of the Trinity by Carl Bunderson,catholicnewsagency.com,2016 Vatican City, Jun 21, 2016 / 03:03 am MT ().- Pope Francis has announced the canonization date of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, a Carmelite nun of the 20th century who will be formally recognized as a saint October 16. In March, the Pope had acknowledged a miracle worked through the interces- sion of Blessed Elizabeth, paving the way for her canonization. “The Lord has chosen to answer her prayers for us…before she died, when she was suffering with Addison's disease, she wrote that it would increase her joy in heaven if people ask for her help,” said Dr. Anthony Lilles, academic dean of St. John's Seminary in Camarillo. Lilles earned his doctorate in spiritual theology at Rome's Angelicum writing a dissertation on Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity. “If her friends ask for her help it would increase her joy in heaven: so it increases Elizabeth's joy when you ask her to pray for your needs,” he told CNA. "That's the first reason (to have devotion to her): the Church has recognized the power of her intercession." Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity was born in France in 1880, and grew up in Dijon close to the city's Carmelite monastery. Lilles recounted that when one time when Bl. Elizabeth visited the monastery when she was 17, “the mother superior there said, 'I just received this circular letter about the death of Therese of Lisieux, and I want you to read it.' That circular letter would later become the Story of a Soul; in fact, what she was given was really the first edition of Story of a Soul.” “Elizabeth read it and she was inclined towards contemplative prayer; she was a very pious person who worked with troubled youth and catechized them, but when she read Story of a Soul she knew she needed to be- come a Carmelite: it was a lightning moment in her life, where everything kind of crystallized and she understood how to respond to what God was doing in her heart.” Elizabeth then told her mother she wanted to enter the Carmel, but she replied that she couldn't enter until she was 21, “which was good for the local Church,” Lilles explained, “because Elizabeth continued to work with troubled youth throughout that time, and do a lot of other good work in the city of Dijon before she entered.” She entered the Carmel in Dijon in 1901, and died there in 1906 – at the age of 26 – from Addison's disease. Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity June 7th, 2020 Elizabeth wrote several works while there, the best-known of which is her prayer “O My God, Trinity Whom I Adore.” Also particularly notable are her “Heaven in Faith,” a retreat she wrote three months before her death for her sister Guite; and the “Last Retreat,” her spiritual insights from the last annual retreat she was able to make. Cardinal Albert Decourtray, who was Bishop of Dijon from 1974 to 1981, was cured of cancer through Bl. Eliza- beth's intercession – a miracle that allowed her beatification in 1984. The healing acknowledged by Pope Francis March 4 was that of Marie-Paul Stevens, a Belgian woman who had Sjögren's syndrome, a glandular disease. In 2002 Stevens “had asked Bl. Elizabeth to help her manage the extreme discomforts of the pathology she had, and in thanksgiving, because she felt like she had received graces … she travelled to the Carmelite monastery just out- side Dijon,” Lilles said. “And when she got to the monastery, she was completely healed.” Lilles added that a second reason to have devotion to Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity is because she died “believing that she had a spiritual mission to help lead souls to a deeper encounter with Christ Jesus.” “You could call it contemplative prayer, or even mystical prayer. She said her mission was to lead souls out of themselves and into a great silence, where God could imprint himself in them, on their souls, so that they became more God-like.” In prayer, he said, “we make space for (God) to transform us more fully into the image and likeness he intended us to become, but which sin has marred. Contemplative prayer is a means towards this transformation, and Bl. Eliza- beth of the Trinity believed before she died that her spiritual mission would be to help souls enter into that kind of transformative, contemplative prayer, where they could become saints.” During her time in the Carmel of Dijon, Bl. Elizabeth found encouragement from the writings of St. Therese of Lisieux, particularly her “Offering to Merciful Love,” a prayer found in Story of a Soul, Lilles said: “You find references to the Offering to Merciful Love throughout the writings of Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, it was probably something she herself prayed often.” “The second way that Elizabeth of the Trinity was influenced by Therese of Lisieux was a poem that St. Therese wrote called 'Living by Love'; in this poem Therese celebrates how the love of Jesus is the heartbeat, the deepest reality of her life, and because he lived to lay down his life for her, she wants to live to lay down her life for human love, which as the poem goes on, means loving all whom he sends her way, without reserve and all the way, giving people the generous love that we have received from Christ, sharing it with others.” “That idea deeply, deeply influenced Elizabeth of the Trinity and in fact inspired her own way of life and her own spiritual mission to help lead souls into mystical prayer,” Lilles reflected. “She understood that the way she loved souls all the way was to help them find and encounter the Lord.” “So, the spiritual missions of Therese of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity coincide: great theologians like Hans Urs von Balthasar recognized that. And these spiritual missions have both greatly influenced the Church in the 20th and early 21st centuries in very powerful ways.” “I'm so glad that Elizabeth has been recognized for her part in building up the Church in the 20th century.” Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity June 7th, 2020 First Holy Communion for your 3rd Grader will take place on Saturday, June 27th at 11:00a.m. for English speakers.

Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity June 7th, 2020 The Trinity: A Mystery for Eternity By The Catholic World Report.com The apologist and novelist Dorothy Sayers dryly noted, in an essay titled “The Dogma is the Drama,” that for many people, even some Christians, the doctrine of the Trinity is, “The Father incomprehensible, the Son incom- prehensible, and the whole thing incomprehensible.” There are likely a few Catholics who would candidly admit, “Well, the Church teaches that the Trinity is a mystery—and it’s certainly a mystery to me!” In fact, the Catechism of the Catholic Church explains, “The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mys- tery of Christian faith and life” (CCC 234). It goes on to explain that this great mystery is the most fundamental, essential teaching in the “hierarchy of the truths of faith” and that it is a mystery of faith “in the strict sense”—it cannot be known except it has been revealed by God (CCC 237). A theological mystery such as the Trinity is a truth about God known only through divine revelation, not by reason or philosophy. It is like a well with no bot- tom from which we can drink endlessly, our minds and souls never going away thirsty. Belief in the Trinity—one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is a distinctive mark of the Christian Faith. The first few centuries of the Church were filled with controversies and careful definitions regarding the one na- ture of God, the three Persons of the Trinity, and their relationship with each other. Yet the dogma of the Trinity cannot be proven in the usual sense of “proven” and “proof.” But this does not mean that the dogma of the Trinity is contrary to reason or that reason cannot be applied to understanding it to some degree (cf. CCC 154); it means that the Triune reality of God is ultimately beyond human reasoning. As St. Augustine remarked, “If you under- stood Him, it would not be God” (CCC 230). Today’s readings do not use the term “Trinity,” of course, because it doesn’t appear in Scripture. But they are some of the many texts the Church has looked to as either foreshadowing the reality of the Trinity or giving ex- plicit witness to it. The reading from Proverbs is one of several Old Testament passages that describe the wisdom of God, which is often referred to as a sort of personal being or reality. Some of this language is taken up in the New Testament to refer to the Son, including St. Paul’s description of Christ as “the power of God and the wis- dom of God” (1 Cor 1:24).

  • ELIZABETH of the TRINITY (Elizabeth Catez, 1880-1906) Servant of God (D)
    ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY (Elizabeth Catez, 1880-1906) Servant of God (D) Born in .the military camp of Arvor, near Bourges, on Aug. 18, 1880, Elizabeth enjoyed an adolescence and young womanhood filled with the sense of God and with zeal for the salvation of souls. While still an adolescent, she made a vow of chastity and offered herself as a victim to God for France. In 1901 she entered the Carmel at Dijon, to which her family had transferred. On Dec. 8 of the same year she received the habit and on Jan. 11, 1903, she made her profession. Struck by a stomach ulcer, she died on Nov. 9, 1906. The ordinary processes were held during the years 1931-41. On Jan. 28, 1944, her writings were approved, and on Oct. 25, 1961, Pope John XXIII approved the commission for the introduction of her cause (AAS, LVI /1964/, pp. 535-37). The apostolic processes took place from 1963 till 1965. The servant of God is one of the best-known figures of contemporary spirituality. By her example and by her doctrine she has for some years exercised an ever-increasing influence, due above all to her experience of the Trinity and to her brief writings (spiritual notes, correspondence). The writings are heavily doctrinal and echo her communion with the three Divine Persons. Humble and pure, enriched with an intelligence open to all the beauties of grace, of nature and of art, she learned the lesson of love for «the Three»—according to a favorite expression of hers — in the school of St.

  • Two Hearts - Home to the Holy Three Sister Mildred Neuzil and Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity
    Two Hearts - Home to the Holy Three Sister Mildred Neuzil and Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity Sister Mildred (Mary Ephrem) Neuzil in prayer "The saints are like the stars. In his providence Christ conceals them in a hidden place that they may not shine before others when they might wish to do so. Yet they are always ready to exchange the quiet of contemplation for the works of mercy as soon as they perceive in their heart the invitation of Christ." (Taken from sermon notes, St. Anthony of Padua) St. Anthony of Padua’s words describe the lives of these two contemporary women impelled to enter the cloister because they understood so deeply the meaning of the kingdom within; they were captives of the Divine Captive, the Indwelling Triune God, and knew that all else, as St. Paul would say, is rubbish. They understood the primacy of prayer and the interior life--that all real life is within--and that there can be no apostolate ordained by God that is not first rooted in a life of contemplation and the seeking of God’s Will above all else. There must be some cloister, some sacred space, in every life and in every heart that is the dwelling place of God alone, where He is the Spiritual Director, the One Who calls and the One Who fulfills, the One Who is served. Otherwise, we are in danger of seeking our own will and our own glory. Both Sister Mildred (Mary Ephrem) Neuzil, visionary for the Our Lady of America® message, the central doctrine of which is the Divine Indwelling, and Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, whose life and spirituality were centered in the Divine Indwelling, spoke of living their lives as a Laudem gloriae, a praise of glory, God’s glory, the Trinity.

  • Civic and Political (1991)
    Review of the Year UNITED STATES Civic and Political Intergroup Relations V^BJECTIVE INDICES OF ANTI-SEMITISM in America remained relatively low in 1989, but anti-Semitism, in one form or another, in one place or another, weighed heavily in the communal concerns of American Jewry. Extremism on the Right was a source of uneasiness, as were various episodes of tension between the United States and Israel. Catholic-Jewish relations were marked by ups and downs; the most serious instance of the latter was the controversy around the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz, which reached a dramatic climax this year. Anti-Semitism and Extremism A continuing increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents was reported by the Anti-Defamation League's annual audit for 1989, with more episodes of brutality than in the past and more serious violent crimes—arson, bombing, and cemetery desecration. The overall number of incidents, 1,432, was the highest ever reported in the audit's 11-year history. This figure included 845 episodes of desecration and vandalism and 587 acts of harassment, threat, and assault against Jewish individu- als, their property, and institutions. The report underscored signs of growing neo- Nazi "skinhead" involvement and the troubling rise of incidents on the college campus—the latter up by a third over 1988. Two especially violent episodes occurred in Brooklyn. In July an elderly Holo- caust survivor was stabbed to death after he confronted a neighbor he suspected of painting a swastika and death's head on his door; in October two Jewish 19-year-old Brooklyn College students were severely beaten as they left a Hillel House party.
