CDedietzutzio'n HRIST-THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE. In birth through Baptism, the grace of Truth surges gently through the immortal soul of man making it everlastingly one with the Way that is Christ, suffering then glorious, inseparably uniting the Life and this infant member of His Mystical Body. To Thee, O Lord of the Universe, Who compassionately conceived of eternal coalition with Thy creatures, we, the graduates of Nine- teen Hundred and Forty-Four, humbly dedicate the pages between these covers, and moreover, our entire lives. We beseech Thee, jesus, to ever warm the hearts of Elizabethans in the lambent flames of Thy Sacred Heart, that thus sheltered in the healing Wound of Thy Loving Heart we may one day achieve complete realization of Thy Divine Benevolencei Unworthy though we know our- selves to be, we petition from Thy Hands, pierced with rubies of lovexfor us, the merciful forgiveness which is our solitary support as we falteringly strive to walk in Thy Footsteps leading to the Divine Presence. In our four years at St. Elizabeth Academy, we have received from Your Hands the triply strong unity with the Way-with the Truth-with the Life which we cherish most intimately, confident that in the years to come we will be supported by this oneness and go onward and upward until the summit is attained and we may adore Thee face to face Who has lived in us, and Whom we, as travelers in life, have diligently striven to emulate.
