We hope this day, that Elizabeth Ann Seton and the women who followed her continue to pray for the Cause of Bishop Brute.<\/p>\n
Heavenly Father,
\nsource of all that is holy,
\nin every age, you raise up
\nmen and women who live lives
\nof heroic love and service.<\/p>\n
You have blessed your Church
\nthrough the life of Simon Brute,
\nfirst bishop of Vincennes
\nand spiritual director
\nto St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.
\nThrough his prayer, his intellect,
\nhis love, and his pastoral care,
\nSimon Brute formed future priests
\nand guided your Church
\nin the early days of our country.<\/p>\n
If it be your will,
\nmay he be proclaimed a saint.
\nWe ask this through Jesus Christ,
\nour Lord.<\/p>\n
