Q&A with Sr. Anne Marie Lamoureux, on inviting marginalized people on retreat
|
St. Martin de Porres and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton experienced broken families and health crises throughout their lives and responded with radical charity, gathering Catholic communities to teach and heal.
|
Before she became a foundress and a saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton was a wife, a mother, a teacher. On All Souls Day, her example reminds us of the dignity of the ordinary faithful who keep things going, bearing everyday witness to the power and value of a life in Christ.
|
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, like so many other saints, took inspiration from the lives of those who came before her. For All Saints Day, why not copy the venerable practice of seeking out a patron saint to teach you throughout the next liturgical year?
|
Blessed Chiara Badano and Mother Seton each lived the Agony in the Garden, handing themselves over to God’s Providence, enduring all as Jesus had endured all. They show us that living a fully Christian life with joy is not just a pious dream. It’s an experience of heaven on earth.
|
What binds Saints Simon and Jude together, aside from their common feast day, is the zealous abandonment embraced by every saint, including Elizabeth Ann Seton, who recognized that each of us is an “impossible cause” searching for God’s mercy.
|
St. John Paul II’s description of the beauty of authentic womanhood meets fulfillment in the life and work of Mother Seton.
|
In situations of explosive uncertainty, we need to cling to the single thread that is God.
|
St. Teresa of Avila and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton each had to confront age-old prejudices about women as they founded religious communities that were unique for their times. Neither doubted that God would provide them with good counsel as they forged new paths for the Church.
|
Feelings change, emotions rise and fall, but God remains our anchor. It’s that truth, as St. Teresa of Avila and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton knew, that brings us peace, no matter the storms that rage around us.
|
The Blessed Virgin Mary who appeared to the children at Fatima and vindicated them with a triumphant miracle in the sky is the same Mary who comforted Elizabeth Seton through all the trials of her life. She is a Mother to us all.
|
The unshakable faith of Pope Saint John XXIII and Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton flowed from their devotion to the “strength of goodness.” This devotion was inspired by the humble and outward-serving influences of people who left indelible marks on the young lives of these two great saints.
|
Both St. John Henry Newman and Mother Seton were generous in giving and receiving the affection of many friends. In their lives we see how holiness and the natural virtue of friendship go hand-in-hand.

Elizabeth Ann Seton was twenty-years old when the Blessed Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne were executed during the French Revolution. A century and a half later Francois Poulenc would tell the world their story in his sublime opera, Dialogues des Carmelites.
