VISION BOOKS
SAINT ELIZABETH'S THREE CROWNS |
|
|
St. Elizabeth of Hungary was born Princess Elizabeth of Hungary, so she spent her life differently than most who became saints. But that does not mean she led a life without challenges. Her intereresting journey is told here, specially for ages 9-15. Paperback, 12 Chapters, 168 pages.
Instead of living in proverty like St. Francis of Assisi, Elizabeth lived most of her life in a castle surrounded by incredible wealth. By the age of four she was already engaged to be married and was sent far away from her home to live with Louis, her husband-to-be, who was only ten years old. From the beginning of her life in her new castle, Elizabeth was ridiculed by all of those people who were jealous of her. They noticed that she was always trying to be holy. As she would play games with other children, she would contrive little ways to sneak into the chapel and have a visit with Jesus. Although Elizabeth was a princess, she longed to live the kind of poverty she heard about through the Franciscans. She became a member of the Third Order of St. Francis. She constantly gave everything away and had nothing nice to wear in front of visitors, but Jesus always provided for her at the last minute. When she emptied the castle store-houses of grain for the poor, Jesus would miraculously fill them up again. Her subjects were never able to grow accustomed to the queen who lived the life of a saint, but they always appreciated her generosity and saw in her such simplicity and holiness. Only four years after her death she was canonized a saint. Paperback, 168 pages. Ages 9-12.
