Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity.

Pope Francis has announced the canonization date of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, a Carmelite nun of the 20th century who will be formally recognzied as a saint October 16.

In March, the Pope had acknowledged a miracle worked through the intercession of Blessed Elizabeth, paving the way for her canonization.

“The Lord has chosen to answer her prayers for us…before she died, when she was suffering with Addison’s disease, she wrote that it would increase her joy in heaven if people ask for her help,” said Dr. Anthony Lilles, academic dean of St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo.

Lilles earned his doctorate in spiritual theology at Rome’s Angelicum writing a dissertation on Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity.
