Description:
PRAYER OF SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON TO ATTAIN HAPPINESS IN GOD Almighty Giver of all mercies, Father of all,
who knows my heart and pities its weakness and errors, you know the desire of my soul is to do your will. It struggles to wing its flight to you, its Creator, and sinks again in sorrow for that imperfection which draws it back to earth. How long shall I contend with sin and mortality! When will that hour arrive which shall free the troubled spirit from its prison, and change the sadness of this life
for immortality and endless happiness!
I bow to you, my God, in cheerful hope,
that confiding in your infinite mercy and assisted by your powerful grace I shall soon arrive at that hour of unspeakable joy. But if it is your will that the spirit shall yet contend with its dust, assist me so to conduct myself through this life as not to render it an enemy.
To this end I place myself in your sacred
side and under the mantle of our Lady, my Mother. Let your holy angels surround me and keep me in peace; and let your
blessing be upon me.Printed in China. -- Cardstock -- 2 3/8 x 4 1/8" H
