St Elizabeth, the peacemaker.

I chose Saint Elizabeth of Portugal as a perfect role model for me because while I was reading her stories in the internet, there was only one thing in my mind; I can see my parents in Saint Elizabeth’s story. Why? Because my parents are the people who have made my faith stronger and made me realize that there are a lot of better experiences when you are faithful to God. St. Elizabeth was devoted and she attended mass every day, and by that I can try to be like her so I could also have a strong faith to God. Saint Elizabeth was also a strong woman, selfless and she was not selfish. She was kind, caring, and loving. Since the fruits of the spirit were present in her life that means she used her gifts, as well as stayed close to God through prayer. The gifts of the spirit are: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, fear of the lord. Saint Elizabeth of Portugal was loving, kind, gentle, faithful, generous, and she had self-control. These are the attitudes that I want to achieve someday, especially on having self-control. I want to not be easily tempted to do stuff and by the help of St. Elizabeth, I will just pray for her to help attain this. I can relate to Saint Elizabeth’s struggles, because sometimes it’s hard to be a peacemaker and bring peace to a world of conflict. I would like to be like Saint Elizabeth because she was a princess and a peacemaker; however, I would not have liked to suffer through years of adultery and abuse like she did. I can relate to her struggles, because sometimes it’s hard to be a peacemaker. Saint Elizabeth is a good example to everyone on how to be a peacemaker and also how to be a good mother, wife and friend. We should all follow in Saint Elizabeth of Portugal the Peacemaker’s footsteps and make peace among us. You just need to start small then spread peace around the world. Saint Elizabeth had made peace between her family, friends, and many others.
