The Year of St. Elizabeth- With the aid of Elizabeth, the Franciscans in 1225 founded a monastery in Eisenach; BrotherRodeger, as his fellow-companion in the order, Jordanus, reports, instructed Elizabeth, to observe, according to her state of life, chastity, humility, patience, the exercise of prayer and charity. Her position prevented the attainment of the other ideal of St. Francis, voluntary and complete poverty. Various remarks by Elizabeth to her female attendants make it clear how ardently she desired the life of poverty.
