Elisabeth of the Trinity to be Canonized
Saitn John Paul II identified her as a strong influence on his spiritual life at her beatification in 1984. Cardinal Decourtray (at the time Bishop of Dijon) attributed his own healing to her intercession at the time. Yet even more wonderful are the many conversions to a deeper life of prayer attributed to her intercession and spiritual mission in the life of the Church. Centennial celebrations throughout France ten years ago indicated that many have discovered devotion to the Trinity and deeper contemplative prayer through her life, writings and intercession. For many, her canonization would express and deepen their sense of gratitude to this pianist become nun at the turn of the last century.
Part of the process leading to the declaration of sainthood requires that a second miracle be obtained by her intercession after her beatification. The miracle approved today is this second miracle for Blessed Elisabeth.
