I chose Saint Elizabeth of Portugal as my role model to live out my faith because she defined faith in different aspects. Having been married at a young age with a man whom she never met was unbelievably shocking, she could have refused but still obeyed her parents' orders. Despite her husband breaking his vows, she remained faithful to him and prayed that he would have a change of heart.
Saint Elizabeth dedicated her life to the poor, she would do charity works, help the poor, sick, women, and children. She also established a convent for nuns. While doing this she never once forgot to attend daily masses. Her whole life was dedicated to help everyone who are in need and to God.
I look up to Saint Elizabeth of Portugal not only because of her passion in helping others but also being a peacemaker. She found a way to end a feuds between her family and nations. I hope to be like her someday, to have a deep and sincere love for humankind.
