But as important as these appeals are, in our current environment they will not, of themselves, bring about needed change. For as Archbishop Chaput said: \u201cIf we want a different kind of country in the future, we need to start today with a conversion in our own hearts, and an insistence on the same in others.\u201d America\u2019s ongoing crisis is primarily spiritual, not political.<\/p>\n<p>In praying for the spiritual rebirth of our nation, we can also draw strength from the life of Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton. For she was a remarkable and gifted woman who lived in the United States during a time of national strife, yet overcame personal tragedies and discrimination to become the first American-born saint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstthings.com\/web-exclusives\/2017\/08\/mother-seton-and-the-american-crisis\">Continue reading this article at the First Things website&#8230;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If American Catholics are looking for a Christian role model during these turbulent times, Mother Seton is a wonderful choice.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":21794,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1187],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seton-reflections"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
