Though small in height, Elizabeth Ann Seton truly had a great heart.
With her whole heart, she embraced people near and far.
With her whole heart, she met the ups and downs of life.
She found the source and meanIng of her life in loving.
She found peace when her heart rested on the heart of the God she loved and served.
Like St. Vincent de Paul, she knew that “First God asks for the heart, and then the work.”
Like the songwriters, she understood that “Love Changes Everything,” and that “What the World Needs Now is Love.”
Feel the love in her words!
And experience the LOVE and HOPE in the words of Elizabeth Seton and Sr. Mary Mc Cormick, SC: through this short prayer video, delivered during the opening session of our February 8th Congregation Day: “Hope in a Time of Uncertainty.
I am so grateful and so inspired.
Thanks. Beautiful and necessary
