Apart from the Gospels themselves, this revolutionary idea was best expressed by the saint we celebrate on May 2 \u2014 St. Athanasius.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fundamental idea of Athanasius\u2019 entire theological battle was precisely that God is accessible,\u201d said Pope Benedict XVI in a weekly audience about the great saint. \u201cHe is not a secondary God, he is the true God and it is through our communion with Christ that we can truly be united to God. He has really become \u2018God-with-us\u2019. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was the doctrine St. Athanasius brought to the Church and the world in the 300s, and it is a doctrine that characterizes St. Elizabeth Ann Seton\u2019s life and works as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First, God makes himself accessible to us in his i<\/strong><strong>ncarnation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Athanasius is the great saint of the Incarnation. He began his vocation in the Church assisting Alexandria\u2019s bishop at the council of Nicea, which rejected the ideas of the priest Arius, who taught that God the Father was Divine, but that Jesus and the Holy Spirit were merely especially blessed creatures.<\/p>\n<p>That doctrine made a lot of sense \u2014 and it even jibed better with common sense. After all, God is spirit, human beings are bodies; God is all-powerful, we are weak and compromised.<\/p>\n<p>But Athanasius saw the mind-blowing truth at the heart of the Gospel: God left the purity of a spiritual heaven and entered the messiness of human life. The Council of Nicea proclaimed that Jesus Christ was \u201cconsubstantial\u201d with the Father, \u201cGod from God, light from light.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Athanasius later spelled out how far-reaching the consequences of this doctrine are. \u201cSince the body of the Word is a real human body\u201d it meant that human beings\u2019 bodies had real dignity and that the death of Jesus Christ affected everybody.<\/p>\n<p>The incarnation also meant that the physical world is trustworthy and part of God\u2019s kingdom. \u201cThe Lord touched all parts of creation, and freed and undeceived them all from every deceit,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>St. Elizabeth Ann Seton understood the centrality of the incarnation intuitively; it fills her letters and prayers throughout her life. \u201cGod is so infinitely present to us that he is in every part of our life and being,\u201d she said. \u201cHe is more intimately present to us than we are to ourselves, and whatever we do is done in him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>S<\/strong><strong>econd<\/strong><strong>, God is<\/strong><strong> accessible <\/strong><strong>in Scripture.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Athanasius didn\u2019t just see God as metaphysically close \u2014 he knew God spoke our language in words anyone could read and understand. Athanasius was not just a student of Scripture \u2014 he helped form it. The complete list of books we now call the New Testament was first outlined in a letter from Athanasius in 367.<\/p>\n<p>Scriptures became the place where generations of Christians heard the very words of Jesus, spoken to them.<\/p>\n<p>In 1803, Elizabeth Ann Seton remembered in a journal entry when the Scriptures got personal for her husband shortly before his death. \u201cWilliam says he feels like a person brought to the Light after many years of darkness when he heard the Scriptures as the law of God and therefore Sacred, but not discerning what part he had in them or feeling that they were the fountain of Eternal Life,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing the words of God spoken directly to you doesn\u2019t just bring comfort, though; it can also cause pain. Elizabeth wrote to Antonio Fillicchi, her mentor in the Catholic faith, that as the truth dawned on her before her conversion, \u201cScriptures, once my delight and comfort, are now the continual sources of my pain. Every page I open confounds my poor Soul. I fall on my knees and, blinded with tears, cry out to God to teach me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third, our intimacy with God is part and parcel with the first two: In history.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The historical reality of the Church is a large part of what convinced St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. She wrote to a friend years after conversion that she became convinced that the Catholic faith was the one given and founded by our Lord and his apostles and secured by Apostolic Succession.<\/p>\n<p>The historical argument for the Catholic faith was also important to Athanasius, with a significant difference. As Cornelius Clifford puts it in the <em>Catholic Encyclopedia, <\/em>\u201cHis career almost personifies a crisis in the history of Christianity, and he may be said rather to have shaped the events in which he took part than to have been shaped by them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pope Benedict XVI pointed out further that Athanasius didn\u2019t just shape history; he wrote its rules. \u201cIt was the custom of the bishops of Alexandria to circulate a letter after Epiphany each year establishing the date of Easter, and therefore other moveable feasts,\u201d Benedict said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brings us to the last way Athanasius saw God\u2019s intimacy with man: In our personal histories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While scholars celebrate him for his writings against the Arians, Athanasius\u2019 real smash bestseller was his <em>Life of Antony<\/em>, a gripping account of the desert hermit\u2019s battles with the devil. By focusing on the life of Christ as it expressed itself in one man\u2019s personal experience, Athanasius makes a significant move: from seeing God present in human events to God present in personal experiences.<\/p>\n<p>It inspired a flowering of monasticism, but it also helped establish the lives of the saints genre, which allows us to see God\u2019s mighty actions writ small, in individual lives.<\/p>\n<p>This has obvious applications to the life of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, as does his work <em>On Sickness and Health,<\/em> which saw God\u2019s drama in our own illnesses too.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the pain and struggle in her life, Elizabeth always saw God\u2019s hand there. \u201cWhen we are troubled, we forget how good our Jesus is,\u201d she wrote to her friend Julia Scott a few years after her conversion. \u201cI told my Jesus this morning when I had the happiness of receiving him, I said, ah I could say with St. Paul \u2018it is not I who lives, but it is Jesus lives in me.\u2019 &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And thus, Mother Seton experienced not just what St. Paul described, but what St. Athanasius described as well, in his most famous phrase about Jesus: \u201cHe became what we are so that he might make us what he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOM HOOPES<\/strong>,\u00a0<em>autor m\u00e1s reciente de El Rosario de San Juan Pablo II, es escritor residente en el Benedictine College de Kansas, donde imparte clases.
