The author of this booklet says if we are to compare her with the mighty women of the Old Testament, Saint Elizabeth was endowed with a courage akin to Judith’s, possessed the docility of Ruth, was as intrepid as Esther in the face of danger, and was as resigned as the mother of Machabees in the hour of trial.” She has been called, “The Greatest Woman of the German Middle Ages.” Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, daughter of a king, was naturally devout, which drew negative attention from her future mother-in-law. This booklet provides insight into the highs and lows of Elizabeth’s beautiful life, the sacrifices she made for the poor, and her entry into heaven. Certainly, we can take much from this text to emulate in our own lives.
