She was given the title "Apostle of Devotion to the Holy Spirit" in 1895.
She was a person who received many messages from God to help begin a renewal of teh Church through prayers directly to and devotion to the Holy Spirit.
In the first of Elena’s twelve confidential letters to Pope Leo XIII she wrote :
"Holy Father, the world is evil, the spirit of Satan triumphs in our perverted society and tears away from the Heart of Jesus a multitude of souls; and in this dreadful state of things Christians lend no thought to addressing unanimous supplications to He Who can ‘renew the face of the earth.’ People recommend all sorts of devotions, but they are silent about that one devotion which, according to the Holy Spirit of the Church, should be first and foremost. People recite so many novenas; but that one novena, which by order of Our Savior in person, was recited even by the most Holy Mary and by all the apostles, is now almost forgotten. Preachers praise all the Saints, but when do we ever hear a sermon in honor of the Holy Spirit, He who shapes the Saints? …Therefore, oh Holy Father, you alone can make Christians return to the Holy Spirit, so that the Holy Spirit may return to us; defeat the evil reign of the devil, and grant us the long sought renewal of the face of the earth."
Blessed Elena urged the Pope to help re-awaken the church to devotion to the Holy Spirit and inspired him to write the encyclical on the Holy Spirit

She asked this also from the Pope:
"Oh, if only…unanimous and fervent prayers could be raised to Heaven in every part of Christendom, as they were one in the Cenacle [upper room] of Jerusalem, for a rekindling of the Divine Spirit." Blessed Elena Guerra.
