This
precious
child of God, who was born into royalty, yet never used or abused
it. It is the story of a great woman, a daughter, a wife, a
widow, a benefactress of the poor, a glowing example of a soul
endeavoring to love her Lord more purely, yet faithful to her calling
as wife and mother. As the story of her life unfolds, you
will see, in addition to the titles attributed to her above, we could
add these to the number: Patroness of bakers, beggars, charitable
societies, charitable workers, countesses, parents who have lost
children to death, the innocent who are falsely accused, homeless
people, hospitals, those having problems with in-laws, nursing homes,
people in exile, the faithful persecuted for their love of Mother
Church, Sisters of Mercy, Tertiaries (Third Order), and on and
on. Quite a rich list for one whose life would end at
the young age of twenty-four. Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray
for us.
