Prayer by Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ

Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ
Sixth Superior General
of the Society of the Sacred Heart

I know that when the stress has grown too strong,

Thou wilt be there;

I know that though the waiting seems so long,

Thou hearest prayer.

I know that through the crash of falling worlds

Thou holdest me;

I know that life and death and all are Thine, Eternally!  

Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ 
(1857-1914)
