Bones! Soon, however, the relic became very important and reassuring to me. I would pray to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton holding the pendant close.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than keeping her tucked in a drawer or bank vault, I wore the pendant regularly, especially when traveling, praying to her each time I put the necklace on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day, I said a rather hasty, less heartfelt than usual, prayer before leaving on a short trip. Soon after stopping at a rest stop along my way, with anguish I discovered that my St. Elizabeth Ann Seton pendant had fallen from its chain. I searched the car completely, returned to the rest stop, searched everywhere, and spoke with an attendant, to no avail.\u00a0 I felt both terribly sad and guilty that I had not treated her with my usual reverence that morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although dreading telling my sister, she said, &#8220;That&#8217;s alright. She knows where she&#8217;s supposed to be,&#8221; which made me feel so much better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite having returned several times to search the rest stop and still hoping that someday she may return to me, I am comforted by the notion that someone found her, and she is blessing them as she did me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Sharon Burtner<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>50 for 50 is a series of stories, quotes, clips, photos, and\/or devotional statements from ordinary people to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the canonization of Elizabeth Ann Seton as the first native-born American saint.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A peaceful presence <\/p>","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":204046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4419],"class_list":["post-204043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-fifty-for-fifty"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
