The Canonization Process for Elisabeth of the Trinity
Part of the process leading to the declaration of sainthood requires that a second miracle be obtained by her intercession after her beatification. This seems to have happened for a religion teacher dying of Sjogren’s Syndrome. Miss Marie-Paul Stevens, while on a pilgrimage to Blessed Elizabeth’s convent, in Flavignerot, just outside of Dijon, appears to have been completely cured. Investigation of the miracle is part of the process. Go here for the original report in Italian. For more on the ceremony opening up the cause, see Laudem Gloriae. This same blog also contains great posts on her Feast Day and the Day of her Death.
During the summer when this news first hit, I was traveling and not able to follow up. On her feast day, November 8, my good friend Richard Ziegman sent me the information which led up to this post. It is wonderful news for so many who have found her to be an encouragement in their prayer. Special thanks to Richard whose deep devotion to Blessed Elisabeth has encouraged my own research over the years.
