A Prayer to Saint Elizabeth
Dear Saint Elizabeth, the material comforts of courtly life shared by you and your husband
allowed you to accomplish great good through unceasing charity to the poor. You were poor in spirit, faithful to your husband
and fully consecrated to your Divine Bridegroom.
Grant your help to widows and widowers and keep them faithful to their heavenly
Lord. Strengthen them by your example and teach them how to cope with their loss and to make use of their time in the service
of God our Lord.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Amen.
A Prayer to St. Elizabeth
Almighty God,
by whose grace your servant
Elizabeth of Hungary
recognized and honored Jesus
in the poor
of this world:
Grant that we, following her example,
may with love and gladness
serve those in any need or trouble.
In the name and for
the sake of and
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen
