"Praise of Glory" Prayer:
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity,
Draw me from myself
in a wholly simple and loving movement
that I may cling to our Beloved Three.
Keep me in this great interior silence
that God may imprint Himself on me
& transform me into a Praise of Glory.
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity Prayer (on rosary beads)
I tried to incorporporate my favorite saint with the two great Commandments and their context. (The Beatitudes) This prayer is for all who are affected by addictions.
First three small beads:
1. "Our Father"
2. "Hail Mary"
3. "Apostle's Creed"
"Glory Be" & "Praise of Glory" Prayer on large beads
Small beads:
1. Love the Lord your God with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength.
2. Love one another as I have loved you.
3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5. Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted.
6. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall have their fill.
7. Blessed are the merciful: for mercy shall be theirs.
8. Blessed are the pure of heart: for they shall see God.
9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10. Blessed are they who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Repeat for five decades & finish with an "Our Father."
Keep praying this prayer until you like being alone in loving awareness of inner peace, and then pray it for those still suffering.
"It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us." -p. 90 12&12

Interesting...although, to be clear, it's only the last quote that came from the 12&12. But the rest is neat, too.
Interestingly enough, when we were in Toledo unpacking over the weekend, I found a rosary, "blessed by Pope John XXIII," that must have belonged to one of my parents (probably Dad...he was more devout than Mom was). So perhaps I'll try your litany soon.
By the way, I keep meaning to ask: of whom are you speaking when you say, "blessed Elizabeth"? It may be here, and I've just missed it...I've wondered that each time I come to your blog.
