St. Isabel of France
Sister of St. Louis and daughter of King Louis VIII of France and Blanche of Castile, she refused offers of marriage from several noble suitors to continue her life of virginity consecrated to God. She ministered to the sick and the poor, and after the death of her mother, founded the Franciscan Monastery of the Humility of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Longchamps in Paris. She lived there in austerity but never became a nun and refused to become abbess. She died there on February 23, and her cult was approved in 1521.

Ilove you saint Isabel pray for us
Dear Saint,
Pray for the Holy Father that he spends the rest of his life in prayer and meditation, constantly praying for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to the Church. Intercede for his good health and peace of mind to the rest of his life as he awaits to receive the crown of life which the Lord has prepared for those who love him. May he be blessed and protected for his sacrifices for the church. May his successor imitate and walk in his footsteps leading the Church in truth and wisdom. Let the spirit of the Lord protect the Church from the wolves of homosexual cardinals, bishops and priests. Amen.
St. Isabel, please pray for us.
Please pray for Jacob that he finds peace and the right path, for his mother that the doctors can slow the progression of the dementia and for all cancer patients that we deal with our disease with grace and dignity. Thank you.
happy belated feast day St. Isabel of France. please intercede for my mom and i. thank you
Maria Garcia-
I believe that the saint you're looking for is Saint Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist.
Hope this helps! :)
I'm sorry but the St Isabel information I was looking for was of St Isabel cousin of virgin Marry the one who was sterile and god blessed her with a child.
This was helpful, but it is a boatload of information to read through, and it would really help if there was a summary at the bottom to understand better.
This was very helpful. I have to do a paper in my confirmation II class. And it helped me write my paper on this beautiful saint.
Thanks so such for the help.

St.Isabelle is gr8
Dear St. Isabel, Please pray for me.
how funny! I was just reading about her big brother Saint Louis; in French, I have to write a journal as a historical person we've read about so I'm doing Blache de Castille. :-) both Isabel and Louis are great saints!
St. Isabel of France, pray for us, that during this Lenten season, we may be close to Jesus the suffering Saviour who desires that we imitate Him. Help our eyes to look at Him dying on the cross, His arms stretched out on the Cross, His hands and feet nailed to the Cross and His side pierced with a lance. Dear Jesus crucified help us in overcoming our weaknesses. May we not be diverted from Your precious love, Your loving gaze and Your words spoken in the Gospel. Dear Jesus Help us. Have pity on all those suffering on bed of pain and on all sick children. Amen.
Ste Isabelle
