Named for Glory – St. Elizabeth of the Trinity’s Identity and Mission

Description “I am going to bury myself in the depths of my soul, that is, in God. Will you follow me in this very simple movement?” — St. Elizabeth of the Trinity St. Teresa of Avila said that every soul is made for transforming union with God. In her footsteps, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906) invites you to rendezvous with her in the interior castle and experience the indwelling presence of the Holy Trinity. In these awe-inspiring pages, St. Elizabeth unveils the union that you were made to enjoy through Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs and Gate of Heaven. By reflecting on her name and vocation as Virgin, Spouse, and Mother, St. Elizabeth invites us to answer the universal call to holiness so that our lives will also flow into the very life of God — and His life will flow into ours. By imitating our Blessed Mother in her deep simplicity and making little acts of love and sacrifice each day, we unite with Jesus in the Sacred Host, become living oblations, and thus glorify our Crucified and Risen Lord. “Since St. Elizabeth of the Trinity’s canonization in 2016, there has been a ferment of research and scholarship around her life, her mysticism, her works, and her place in spiritual theology and salvation history. Named for Glory is a significant American contribution to this ferment and astutely examines the biblical, doctrinal, and missiological dimensions of her ecclesial mission while inspiring us to open ourselves in silence to the indwelling Trinity, who directs our own vocations, ecclesial missions, and unique paths to holiness.” – Bishop  John O.
