Publisher's summary

Decades before Vatican II called for the sanctification of the laity, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity prophetically claimed that holiness is not exclusively the domain of priests and nuns but is truly for everyone.

God created the human soul to be a special channel of his grace on earth and to serve as a unique image of his love. Few saints have spoken to hearts as acutely as St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, who has helped even the busiest, weariest, and most distracted of us create an inner chamber within our souls where we can rest in God’s peace and love.

In this tender yet powerful book, author Claire Dwyer takes you on a spiritual journey with this little-known but fast-ascending saint. She shows you how to overcome aridity in prayer and discover ways to bring peace to familial relationships. You will learn how to identify and fulfill the specific mission God has for you and how to draw courage and meaning from the inevitable sufferings you will face. Best of all, you will learn how to encounter and live in union with God, which opens up a sanctuary of peace within your soul. The purpose of your life is not something to discover in the remote future. You can begin to live your ultimate end—union with the Trinity—right now in the secret center of your heart, where the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit already dwell. St. Elizabeth of the Trinity has revealed the way.

Listen this book, and you will see with new eyes that your eternal destiny is already living within you, in this present paradise.

Excellent

This book opened my heart on every level. Ms Dwyer’s voice and words were were sweet and full of passion.
I learned so much about St Elizabeth of the Trinity, a child who soared to sainthood in such a brief time.

Great recommendation from the Avila Institute

Over this past year, I’ve been trying to read more of the Carmelites Saints. I had not heard of, nor read anything about Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity. The title and brief description of the contents of the book were intriguing enough to give it a try.
Claire Dwyer’s reading was easy listening. I love that she is a busy wife and mother, who was continuously weaving Carmelite spirituality in an out of her own non-cloistered life!
I am a busy grandmother of nine, six of whom are local, and there are several elements of Carmolite spirituality, that I find uplifting and wonderful to read about, yet difficult to separate from the life of the cloister and apply to a life that some days lacks any semblance of structure.
Thank you, St Elizabeth for keeping such a touching detail of your life with Jesus, and thank you, Claire for making her work accessible in such a beautiful reading!

This was an incredibly personal read!

This book brings you into the life and spirituality of a beautiful saint. I was so moved by the relationship I was able to feel at the end and the personal insights I had along the way. Thank you for writing this book.
