Holy Gossip – Elizabeth of Hungary

Time Magazine recently featured a story about how people gossip – and how gossip can be a good thing! Darleen Pryds of the Franciscan School of Theology seems to agree – and shares some ‘holy gossip’ with us. Darleen proposes that our untamed and counter-cultural faith as Christians and Franciscans depends on us ‘spilling the tea, ‘ sharing our gossip, and in the process, overturning expectations.  Ready for some scandal? Listen to Darleen’s short story about St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Not only did this saint lovingly share her bed with her husband, but she also shared her bed with strangers – definitely overturning expectations! St. Elizabeth’s feast day is on November 17th.
