 Saint Elisabeth of Hungary Queen This kind hearted queen was betrothed to Louis of Thuringia in their infancy.

Under spiritual direction she tried to become one with the poor and dressed very simply to feed the hundreds who came to her gate. Soon her husband was killed during the Crusades and his family looked on her charity as foolish squandering. They mistreated her and eventually threw her out. She spent the remainder of her days as a Franciscan tending to the sick in a little hospital. Read More |

 Saint Elizabeth Queen of Portugal Named for her great aunt, Saint Elisabeth of Hungary, this saintly queen dedicated her life to the poor and established orphanages and shelters for the homeless. Legend has it that her husband, King Diniz, forbade her to give to the poor and so she took to hiding bread in her apron. On one cold January day he confronted her and demanded to see what she had hidden there. She replied that she had roses, and praying for the poor, she opened her apron to reveal roses. Not even wondering how she found them in the middle of winter, he left her alone. Read More |

 Saint Jeanne de Valois The daughter of one king – Louis XI and the wife of another, this saintly woman suffered more humiliation in her life than most of us can imagine. She was born sickly and deformed and in disgust, her father sent her away to live in solitude without any of the most basic comforts. She turned to God for her solace and is said to have experienced visions of the Blessed Virgin. Eventually, for political expediency, she was forced to marry Louis Duke of Orleans who became King Louis XII. She was devoted to him and endowed him with virtues that he did not possess and when he was imprisoned, she offered her own sufferings for his freedom. She was repaid with a public annulment and in humiliation before all of France, was sent away. She accepted her suffering and eventually founded the Order of Annuncionades, dedicated to prayer and the imitation of the virtues of Mary. Read More |
