ST. ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY
(b Hungary 1207, d. Germany 1231)
[St. Elizabeth of Thuringia]
Princess of Hungary, Queen of Thuringia, mother of three, widow at 21,
she has been described as "one of the most pious women to ever live...
who made more of an impact on an entire country then most people who
live three times as long as she did". Married to Ludwig of Thuringia
at 14, he allowed her to use royal resources for her charities and is
locally venerated as a saint himself even if he was never canonized.
Their third child was born after Ludwig was killed as he set out for
the Sixth Crusade. She was devastated by his death and joined the
Franciscan third order. Venerated for her life of prayer, sacrifice
and service, she was canonized just four years after her death.
OR for 11/16-11/17:
In his address to FAO, the Pope asks that the battle against hunger not be reined in
by delays or compromises:
'A relationship of parity between rich and poor nations
requires not just laws but a change of personal and social lifestyles'
Other Page 1 stories: An editorial on the FAO food summit; the Holy Father's Angelus homily on
the Word of God; Asia-Pacific nations including the US accept there will be no consensus other
than intention at the Copenhagen climate-change summit next month; Russia's Medvedev hints
once more at possibility of joining sanctions against Iran. In the inside pages is a report that
the Orthodox Patriarch Pavle (Paul) of Serbia died yesterday at age 95.
No events scheduled for the Holy Father today.
