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, for ever and ever.

Amen.”
