(Title in Polish - 'Aktualnosc sw. Elzbiety Wegierskiej jako malzonki i matki w swietle materialów formacyjnych franciszkanskiego zakonu swieckich 2007-2008'). The aim of the article is to analyse St. Elizabeth of Hungary, traditionally recognized as a member of the Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi, as a role model for secular Franciscans of the 21th century. The research has been based on the Order formation documents issued during the jubilee of 800th anniversary of the birth of St. Elizabeth (2007-2008). The patron saint of the Order is seen here as a model for contemporary wives and mothers, the pattern of faithfulness in marriage and exemplary parent instructing her children not by words but by example of life dedicated to prayer and good deeds.

The aim of the article is to present the main components of the role model of a priest-martyr of the 16th and the 17th centuries. The research has been based on the 1615 edition of The Supplement to the lives of saints collection by Piotr Skarga. The heroes presented in this part of the book were the victims of anti-Catholic persecutions in England, France, Brasil, India and other countries. Although not canonized, they were included in the then hagiography as brave advocates of their faith, demonstrating extreme heroism during torture sessions, disputations and executions.

The paper aims at the presentation of St. Elizabeth of Hungary (1207-1231) as a role model for the 16th-18th century literary audience in Poland, especially women. The period hagiographical sources (lives of saints, sermon examples) tend to promote the saint as an exemplary representative of three states of life as a maid, wife and widow. The three mentioned dimensions of Elizabeth's sainthood make the heroine a universal, multipurpose patroness, fully acceptable as a source of Christian perfection for the Polish post-Trent laity.
