"I must jog along the allotted path through all its windings and weariness
until it brings me home where all tears shall be wiped away,
and sorrow and sighing be heard no more. In the meanwhile, Courage!"
- St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
"Debo trotar sobre el camino con todos sus topes y tribulaciones
hasta que éste me traiga a casa donde todo el llanto será consolado,
y las penas y pesares ya no se escucharán. Mientras tanto, ¡Ánimo!"
- Santa Isabel Ana Seton
My way to you, Lord, has often been hampered by attachment to the many "idols" in my life
which serve to distract me from where you want me to go.
Give me the courage to identify these "idols" and root them out of my life.
Mi camino a ti, Señor, se ve continuamente interrumpido por el apego a muchos "ídolos" en mi vida,
los cuales me distraen del camino que tu quieres que tome.
Dame la fuerza para identificar a estos "ídolos" y desterrarlos de mi vida.
