#Saint Elizabeth

[teenageascetic]

"I took this step only out of deep faith and I feel that I must appear before God with a pure and believing heart. […] You say that the outward brilliance of the church fascinated me. In this you are wrong. Nothing external attracts me, and not worship - but the foundation of faith. External signs only remind me of the internal.”

-Saint Elizabeth the new martyr in a letter to her father asking for his blessing to convert to the Orthodox faith.

Karl von Blaas (Austrian, 1815-1894) Das Rosenwunder der Hl. Elisabeth, 1839 St. Elizabeth of Hungary is perhaps best known for her miracle of the roses which says that whilst she was taking bread to the poor in secret, she met her husband Ludwig on a hunting party, who, in order to quell suspicions of the gentry that she was stealing treasure from the castle, asked her to reveal what was hidden under her cloak. In that moment, her cloak fell open and so that she would not have to lie, or be punished by the noble Germanic, according to legend God made the contents of the basket into roses. This proved to Ludwig that God’s protecting hand was at work. Her husband, according to the vitae, was never troubled by her charity and always supported it. In some versions of this story, it is her brother in law, Heinrich Raspe, who questions her. Hers is the first of many miracles that associate Christian saints with roses, and is the most frequently depicted in the saint’s iconography.

The Visitation (detail). Painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) in 1885. 353 x 190 cms. Church of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Paris, France. It is held by some Catholic theologians that the purpose of this visit was to bring divine grace to both Elizabeth and her unborn child. Even though he was still in his mother’s womb, John became aware of the presence of Christ, and leapt for joy as he was cleansed from original sin and filled with divine grace. Elizabeth also responded and recognised the presence of Jesus, and thus Mary exercised her function as mediatrix between God and man for the first time.

Praying the Rosary with Pope John XXIII Joyful Mysteries - Second Mystery - The Visitation

What gentleness and charm in this three months’ visit made by Mary to her beloved cousin! Each of them is about to bear a child, but for the Virgin Mother this is the most sacred maternity that it is possible to imagine on earth. Their two songs mingle and respond in a sweet harmony: ‘Blessed are you among women’ [Luke 1:42] on the one hand, and on the other: ‘God my Savior has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed’ [Luke 1:48]. What takes place here, at Ain-Karim on the hill of Hebron, sheds a light, both very human and divine, on the relations that bind Christian families, brought up in the ancient tradition of the holy rosary: the rosary recited at every evening at home, in the family circle; the rosary recited not just in one or a hundred or a thousand families but by every family, by everyone, everywhere in the world, wherever there is one of us ‘suffering, fighting, praying,’ someone who has answered another call to the priesthood or to missionary service or to a dream which will turn out to be and apostolate; or wherever men are constrained by those legitimate if obligatory demands of labor or trade, military service, study, teaching or any other occupation. There's a beautiful reunion, during the ten Hail Marys of the mystery, of so many countless souls, linked together by blood or by domestic ties, in a relationship which hallows and thereby strengthens the love that binds our dearest ones together: parents and children, brothers and relations, people from the same locality, people of the same race. All this with the purpose and intention of sustaining, increasing and irradiating that universal charity, the exercise of which is the most profound joy and supreme honor of our lives.
