“I am going to bury myself in the depths of my soul, that is, in God. Will you follow me in this very simple movement?” — St. Elizabeth of the Trinity
St. Teresa of Avila said that every soul is made for transforming union with God. In her footsteps, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906) invites you to rendezvous with her in the interior castle and experience the indwelling presence of the Holy Trinity.
Go out into the deep: My Three, my All!
In describing her intimate relationship with God, St. Elizabeth referred to her Divine Bridegroom as “Maestro.” Here, she guides you in hearing His song and living the chorus of love, drawing ever closer to His very Heart. Through her powerful spiritual wisdom, as reflected in her letters to relatives, loved ones, and priests, you will find:
In these awe-inspiring pages, St. Elizabeth unveils the union that you were made to enjoy through Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs and Gate of Heaven. By reflecting on her name and vocation as Virgin, Spouse, and Mother, St. Elizabeth invites us to answer the universal call to holiness so that our lives will also flow into the very life of God — and His life will flow into ours. By imitating our Blessed Mother in her deep simplicity and making little acts of love and sacrifice each day, we unite with Jesus in the Sacred Host, become living oblations, and thus glorify our Crucified and Risen Lord.
“Since St. Elizabeth of the Trinity’s canonization in 2016, there has been a ferment of research and scholarship around her life, her mysticism, her works, and her place in spiritual theology and salvation history. Named for Glory is a significant American contribution to this ferment and astutely examines the biblical, doctrinal, and missiological dimensions of her ecclesial mission while inspiring us to open ourselves in silence to the indwelling Trinity, who directs our own vocations, ecclesial missions, and unique paths to holiness.”
Bishop John O. Barres S.T.D., J.C.L., Diocese of Rockville Centre
“God is a communion of eternal love between the Father and the Son in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity can help us discover that we are a holy temple where God is always present, thanks to the grace of Baptism. This book shows us how to open our heart to this mystery of the Trinity and how to be sanctified and transformed by grace.”
Cardinal Anders Arborelius, O.C.D., Bishop, Diocese of Stockholm, Sweden
“In the Church today, identity and mission are two key terms that show the deep longing of many for greater rootedness and meaning. This work presents Elizabeth, the vibrant witness that she was, as one who embraced life with zest and vigor, exactly in response to the deepening call of the Trinity over time. Indeed, it challenged me to go deeper into my own personal vocation. It is an important Marian addition to the growing corpus of literature about this saint of our times.”
Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, Diocese of Paterson
“A deep, unique, and compelling account of the spiritual life of one of the most important saints for our times. Excellent reading for anyone seeking to grow in contemplative prayer and union with God.”
Fr. James Dominic Brent, O.P., Author, The Father’s House: Discovering Our Home in the Trinity
