Author of He Is My Heaven


“The reader will meet with an excellent and sure guide to the spiritual life. Elizabeth of the Trinity is a vivacious and contemporary witness to the love of God. Marian Murphy has done a tremendous service in helping us to hear and understand the spiritual doctrine of this young French Carmelite. Those who do not yet know her will certainly meet her in these writings and in the admirable account of her life which Murphy presents. Those who already know something of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity will discover here thoughtful and penetrating insights into their spiritual friend.”
