This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

By: Claire Dwyer

4.57

Format: 145 pages, Kindle Edition

Decades before Vatican II called for the sanctification of the laity, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity …

"It was in part her growing faith that made even the stuff of the earth seem lovelier. Prayer makes us more alive. It makes life richer, color more vivid, sounds clear, light brighter, joy deeper, sorrow sweeter. It is not compartmentalized into a spiritual square, stacked away in a closet to be pulled out in a quiet time, but it is messy, in a beautiful way, spilling out over life like sunshine. And Elizabeth that was wholly alive, embracing the world with true joy."
