Elizabeth Achler
Born 25 November 1386 at Waldsee, Wurttemberg, Swabia, Germany
Died 25 November 1420 at Reute, Germany of natural causes; buried in the church at Reute
Beatified 19 July 1766 by Pope Clement XIII (cultus confirmed)
Feast 25 November

Born poor, the daughter of John and Anne Achler. Franciscan tertiary at age 14, but found it hard to lead a religious life while living with her parents. At age 17 she joined four other tertiaries in a community in Reute; she lived there the rest of her life. For most of her life she was subject to ecstasies, and received visions of heaven, hell and purgatory. Stigmatist whose wounds hurt constantly, but which bled on Fridays and during Lent. Had the gift of inedia.

Elizabeth is not yet a saint but has been beatified. Her proper title would be Blessed Elizabeth Archler.
