We need prayer.
Without it, no matter what's happening in your life, your heart won't be at peace.
Join us on a 15-day journey of prayer with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, an ordinary woman who endured extraordinary suffering, and became the first American-born Saint.
We keep hearing the word unprecedented. Perhaps in some ways, 2020 was unprecedented. But in other ways, it’s not. Times of doubt and uncertainty. Times of coldness and division. Times of crisis and discouragement. Times of suffering and pain. The challenges of the world are not unprecedented. These roads have been walked before.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton knew challenges like the ones we're facing. She buried her husband before her 30th birthday. Two of her five children died in her arms. She lost her best friend. All to tuberculosis. She was left penniless, bankrupt, and alone.
How did she find strength? Prayer.

Say goodbye to 2020.
Say hello to peace.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton experienced more heartache and pain in her life than most of us can even imagine. She lost her husband at just 29. She saw two of her five children die in her arms. She was left a penniless widow, who had every reason to lose faith and hope.
But in the end, she became the first American-born saint.
The legacy she gave to the Catholic Church in America includes six congregations of religious sisters with thousands of members, hundreds of schools, soup kitchens, shelters, orphanages, and hospitals throughout the U.S. and around the world.
Come to prayer:
“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust;
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.”
Psalm 25:1-2a, 4-5
