Novena to Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity

Last week, as the KnitAlong commenced, Louise suggested that we pray a novena to Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity for Elizabeth DeHority's intentions. Here is the prayer for you to follow along with us, for the next nine days. You can easily find this prayer every morning (or evening, or both) by clicking on the "Prayers and Devotions" tab along the navigation bar above. It's the very first prayer on that page.

You can also (God willing) print this PDF version of the prayer (to print for your knitting bag?):

Novena to Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.   Amen.

Prayer: 

O Blessed Elizabeth, in your life here on earth you knew how to balance austerity and sweetness, and you saw ‘denying oneself’ in its proper light. Help me to follow your example, and to contemplate the law of dying to self which appears so austere; and yet is of delicious sweetness, when one sees the end of this ‘dying’, which is the life of God put in place of our life of sin and misery. Pray for me that, through your example, my whole exercise may be to abide in Love.

Petition:
Blessed Elizabeth, please intercede with the Master for the favours which I petition in this Novena: if it be His Holy Will; and if not, then ask Him to grant me those graces I stand most in need of.

Blessed Elizabeth, with confidence, I invoke your aid.

Pray: Our Father, Hail Mary (thrice), Glory Be

O Blessed Elizabeth! In your great love of God, You were always so close to the needs of your friend’s. Now that you are in Heaven, before the face of the Lord, Please intercede with Him for the needs I ask you. Teach me how to abide, in Love and Faith, with the Holy Trinity in the depth of my heart. Teach me how to radiate God’s Love among men and women, in my everyday life, just as you did yourself, so that I may be a praise of God’s glory.

Almighty, everlasting God, by whose leave I pay homage to the merits of Your saint Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, I pray that through her intercession; You will bestow upon me, the fullness of Your mercy for which I long, and that I may abide in the Love of Christ. I ask this prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

   In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.   Amen.
