And why not do Élise's site in Norwegian? Providence wanted the postulator to be someone from this northern country, better known for its fjords than for its holiness. Elise can radiate the light of God!
The theme of the 2017 Christmas play was that of the life of Élise Bisschop. The children participated with all their heart.
At the same time, two people had the idea of putting candles at the grave of Élise and her family.
Since 2015, the website on Élise had not changed at a stroke. Now is the time to update it.
The daughter of Elise's childhood friend sent a packet of letters to the justice promoter. Magnificent discoveries.
After the 8 letters found in 2008, and the 48 in 2016, Elise does not find these discoveries sufficient. She has 23 more!
The four nieces of Élise were present at this annual day for the first time. It was a joy for the whole parish.
The opening of the cause was the long-awaited and welcomed event of 2017. The church of Mailly-le-Château was, for once, full, and it welcomed our Archbishop Hervé GIRAUD who came to celebrate the opening of Elise's cause.
We were welcomed in an Italian studio to make the recordings of the film on Élise in this beautiful language.
The "Nihil obstat" of Rome was again a great joy for the cause of Elise. The approval of the Congregation of Saints confirms the intuition common to all.
