Élisabeth de la Trinité
1880-1906 19th century Feast day: November 8
The prayer of the interior: to seek God not far off but in the depths of oneself, and to abide there.
Who was Élisabeth de la Trinité?
A gifted pianist of lively temperament, she entered the Carmel of Dijon, where she discovered the presence of God in the depths of the soul. Taken at twenty-six by a painful illness, she left letters and retreats on the indwelling of the Trinity within us.
In their own words
I have found my heaven on earth, since heaven is God, and God is in my soul.
O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me to forget myself entirely so as to establish myself in you.
It seems to me that in heaven my mission will be to draw souls to interior recollection.
