St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Duchess of Thuringia (19 November) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Join us for this powerful spiritual reflection from Dom Prosper Guéranger on Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, celebrated on November 19th. This beautifully narrated text brings to life the deep humility, heroic charity, and heavenly virtues of St. Elizabeth—princess, mother, widow, Franciscan tertiary, and one of the Church’s most beloved saints. Born into the royal House of Hungary, St. Elizabeth exemplified the Gospel with extraordinary generosity, tender love for the poor, and unwavering devotion to Christ. This episode recounts: ✨ Her childhood in the Hungarian court ✨ Her holy marriage to Louis, Landgrave of Thuringia ✨ The miracles surrounding her works of charity ✨ Her profound suffering, poverty, and exile ✨ Her radiant sanctity as a follower of St. Francis ✨ Her holy death at age 24 ✨ Miracles at her tomb and her canonization Dom Prosper Guéranger’s meditations highlight not only her heroic virtues, but also the spiritual wealth she brought to medieval Christendom. This feast-day reading invites us to imitate her charity, humility, and holy poverty—seeking the “treasure hidden in the field” of the Gospel. Stay prayerful, stay faithful, and may St. Elizabeth of Hungary intercede for all who seek to follow Christ in joyful sacrifice. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 00:12 – Saint Elizabeth of Hungary: Opening 00:29 – Her royal lineage and spiritual heritage 01:22 – Surrounded by saints in her family 01:42 – Early life and youthful sanctity 02:22 – Her life in Thuringia and holy marriage 03:07 – Miracles of charity and divine intervention 04:03 – Her joy and humility in virtue 04:55 – Trials: husband’s crusade and death 05:54 – Exile, poverty, and injustice 06:30 – Restoration of her honor 07:03 – Embracing Franciscan poverty 07:35 – Her holy death and heavenly glory 08:30 – Liturgical history of her feast 10:41 – Hymn to St. Elizabeth 12:04 – Guéranger’s meditation and prayer 12:49 – Closing reflections 13:09 – Mention of St. Pontian the martyr https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/november/november-19-st-elizabeth-of-hungary-duchess-of-thuringia/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
