The Complete Works of
Elizabeth of The Trinity, vol. 2

Letters From Carmel

Translated by Anne Englund Nash

This second of three volumes of her Complete Works contains all of Elizabeth's surviving letters from Carmel. It includes 8 photos, background information and the horarium for the Dijon Carmel, as well as the floor plan for the monastery.

In simple and tender language, writing to friends and family, Elizabeth returns again and again to the great themes of her spirituality: the indwelling Trinity, silence and solitude, living by love, becoming a "praise of glory" (laudem gloriae) by sharing in the dying and rising of Jesus Christ. Here too we find many of her best-known sayings, e.g., "I have found my heaven on earth, for heaven is God, and God is in my soul."

Author : Elizabeth of the Trinity

In his introductions and careful notes, Father Conrad De Meester, OCD, explains the background of each of Elizabeth's letters from Carmel, most of which have never before been published in English. Anne Englund Nash continues the style set in the first volume of the Complete Works, presenting a translation that reflects both the literary nuances and spirit of the original French texts.

"To an age tempted to despair, Elizabeth offers a message of persistent hope."

—Margaret Dorgan
Cross Currents

"In these letters we find Elizabeth's signature insight: 'I have found my heaven on earth, since heaven is God, and God is in my soul' (Letter 122)."
