BECOMING THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY: The Spirituality of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

Monday, September 23 - Friday, September 29, 2019

This retreat will focus on the spiritual writings of Elizabeth of the Trinity, early-20th century French Carmelite nun recently canonized by Pope Francis. Retreatants will learn the major themes of her spiritual teaching through conferences and reflection on significant texts she composed during her 5 years as a Carmelite, prior to her death in 1906 at age 26. Her spirituality is rooted in the hymn that begins the Letter to the Ephesians, from which she drew her understanding of her vocation "to become the praise of His glory." 

Fr. Stephen Coffey, a Massachusetts native, is a monk of the Camaldolese Congregation of the Order of St. Benedict and lives at the Monastery of the Risen Christ in San Luis Obispo, where he is director of oblates. He is a retreat director, spiritual director, and is involved in other formation ministries at the Hermitage in Big Sur and at San Lorenzo Seminary in Santa Ynez. He is a graduate of St. John's School of Theology in Collegeville, MN and holds degrees in Christian Spirituality from Creighton in Omaha and in Pastoral Leadership from Chaminade in Honolulu.
