(OSV News) \u2014\u00a0If St.\u00a0Elizabeth Ann Seton<\/a>\u2018s life was written as a Hollywood screenplay, a script doctor might say it was simply too tragic for audiences to believe \u2014 let alone that the heroine would repeatedly persevere.<\/p>\n

The death of her mother when she was 3. The separation of her father and step-mother, who practically shunned her and her older sister. The death of her father from contagious disease. The bankruptcy of her husband\u2019s business and the loss of their home. The death of her husband in a foreign land.

And while it\u2019s been more than 250 years since her birth, her admirers say Mother Seton is hardly a quaint figure from an antique past \u2014 she\u2019s instead a vibrantly relevant woman who continues to have much to share with modern believers.<\/p>\n
