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.
Prayers still, happy you are back and out of the Hospital.
Welcome home and continued prayers while you continue healing.
Welcome back
Welcome home!
She never asked your forgiveness. You are under no moral obligation to give it.
Welcome back... I praise God that you are well and in good “fighting form “

Glad you’re home. God bless !
Glad you’re back posting
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.
Prayers for continued healing.
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.
So glad you are safe and back healthy.

OMG!! I had NO idea that you were so ill!!! Thank God you are better!!
You are a great writer VERY GOOD CATHOLIC.....God is well-pleased with you.
Thanks for all your help over the years.
I sure am under moral obligation. Jesus Christ told me to.
Continuing to pray for your continue recovery.
There’s no place like home. God bless.
As i think was aptly demonstrated in Mr.s Don-O’s story, forgiveness is not for the other person. It is a gift you give yourself. If you don’t, it will eat you from the inside out.
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B. Smedes
Glad your back home. Take it easy, and stay well!
