Circular letter of the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference Feast of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary 2022

17th November 2022, Thursday
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
Twenty-four years – less than a lifetime. This is all the time that was given to one of the most famous Hungarian saints, Saint Elisabeth of Hungary, the role model of those young people, mothers and widows who are ready to help. But the earthly manifestation of active love lived a full life. In the short time she had here on Earth, she was a joyful child, a loving wife and mother, a grieving widow, but above all, she helped people in need. She was someone who did the right thing with conviction and total dedication. Her sanctity of life was perfectly obvious to her contemporaries, which made it possible to canonize her only three years after her death.
