What’s interesting is that there was a time when he would have agreed with you.

I clicked just to take another loving look at Elizabeth Anscombe. I share with you this prayer for her beatification:

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.
