The Peacemaker Queen: Powerful Novena to Saint Elizabeth of Portugal

By Joel Criscito

This novena to Saint Elizabeth of Portugal offers nine days of prayer and reflection for those seeking peace in divided families, courage to forgive, and strength to serve with humility and love. Born into royal privilege, Elizabeth embraced her calling not with pride, but with a heart surrendered to God. As queen of Portugal, she endured personal sorrow with grace, remained faithful in a difficult marriage, and tirelessly worked to prevent war and heal fractured relationships in Europe.

Known as the "Peacemaking Queen," Elizabeth mediated conflicts with wisdom and prayer, turning royal authority into a tool for reconciliation. She gave generously to the poor, founded hospitals and shelters, and practiced personal acts of penance and service even in secret. Her devotion to the Franciscan spirit and her embrace of Gospel simplicity amidst courtly life revealed that holiness can flourish in any state of life-if lived with integrity and charity.

Through daily Scripture, meditations, and prayers, this novena invites us to seek reconciliation where there is division, to live with generous humility, and to offer our daily duties as acts of love for God and neighbor.
