Prayer for the Beatification and Canonization
of Elizabeth Anscombe

Almighty God, You gave Your maidservant,
Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe,
the grace of a faithful marriage and generous motherhood.

In Elizabeth Anscombe,
You provided for your Flock an extraordinary advocate of philosophic truth,
a defender of human life imperiled in our day
by the mass destruction of war and abortion,
a teacher of the Moral Law
and an outstanding exemplar of the Faith.

You entrusted Elizabeth Anscombe
into the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary
whose counsel, "Do whatever He tells you" (Jn 2:5)
she faithfully followed
and whose intercession she unceasingly invoked.

If it be Your holy will,
please grant the request I now make,
calling upon the help of Elizabeth Anscombe,
so that her heroic sanctity may be recognized
in the whole Church.

I ask this through Your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who with You and the Holy Spirit,
is one God forever and ever.
Amen.

She never asked your forgiveness. You are under no moral obligation to give it.

Wow! What a powerful testimony on forgiveness!

Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

You are riot and have a gift for writing. If the Republicans had a brain, they would hire you for their press responses and make ole dirty hairy and mousey Pelosi wet their big girl panties.

Welcome back! What an experience! God is always “improving” us, even when we’re preoccupied with total personal misery...

I’m so glad that you’re back and well again. And I’ve got to go out and look up more on Elizabeth Anscombe - I always learn something from your posts! She sounds like she could be a saint for us all.
