Prayer to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Lord God,
You blessed Elizabeth Ann Seton
with gifts of grace as wife and mother,
educator and foundress so that she might
spend her life in service to Your people.

Through her example and prayers,
may we learn to express our love for You in love for one another.
We ask this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
-Amen

Pray for us, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Prayer by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Lord Jesus,
Who was born for us in a stable,
lived for us a life of pain and sorrow,
and died for us upon a cross;
say for us in the hour of death, Father, forgive,
and to Your Mother, Behold your child.
Say to us, This day you shall be with Me in paradise.

Dear Savior, leave us not, forsake us not.
We thirst for You, Fountain of Living Water.
Our days pass quickly along, soon all will be consummated for us.
To Your hands we commend our spirits, now and forever.
-Amen.

Patron Saint for the following:
* those near death
