Metafora wewnętrznej celi dla Jezusa w pismach Elżbiety Catez – św. Elżbiety od Trójcy Świętej
The Metaphor of the Interior Cell for Jesus in Writings of Elizabeth Catez – St Elizabeth of the Trinity

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the “interior cell for Jesus” in the writings of St Elizabeth of Dijon. Her writings (poetry, Dairy, Spiritual Records, letters, Recent Retreats) in which the term cell (in the French original cellule) or cellar (in the French original cellier) is used about God’s dwelling (unification) in a man were examined chronologically. The metaphor of the “interior cell” in this Saint’s writings reflects her spirituality precisely: the intense experience of God’s presence in a man, simplicity towards Him, as well as a constant and zealous concern not to left Him alone in the human heart. Moreover, she recalls that this kind of union with God is not reserved exclusively for those endowed with the vocation to the consecrated life. God wants to dwell in every soul that opens its doors to Him.
