Elizabeth Ann Seton by Claire Evans https://padlet.com/23evanc/qepd7o5tgu7f en-us 2019-09-06 03:15:13 UTC 2023-06-03 23:34:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Background 23evanc https://padlet.com/23evanc/qepd7o5tgu7f/wish/384247940 Elizabeth Ann Seton is a native-born American who grew up in the upper class of New York society. Her parents are Richard Bayley and Catherine Charlton. She was born on the 28th of August 1774 and died on January 4th, 1821 at the age of 46. Elizabeth’s mum died when she was 3 which was devastating for her and her family. Elizabeth is a patron saint of deaths of children, loss of parents, the opposition of church authorities, discrimination against piety, widows, and in-law problems. 
Elizabeth loved to read, and she grew up simple, lonely, and quiet. As she loved to read, the bible was second nature to her. Then in 1794, Elizabeth married William Sutton, a young wealthy man. Not too long after they got married and they had 5 kids together, William became very sick and they had to move to Italy, in search of doctors. William died in Italy from tuberculosis. This caused Elizabeth to turn to Christianity. In March 1805 Elizabeth’s friends and family rejected her when she became a catholic.

How do you read?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered right; do this, and you will live.”

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, 34 and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

The text is written by Luke (10; 25-37) and to teach followers of the catholic faith about what “Love your neighbour as yourself” really means. The parable guided Elizabeth Ann Seton on her path to Christianity and seek direction from the bible.]]> 2020-06-14 02:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/23evanc/qepd7o5tgu7f/wish/625437599 Elizabeths prayer - 1 23evanc https://padlet.com/23evanc/qepd7o5tgu7f/wish/625438340 “O my Soul, there is a Heaven! There is a Saviour! There is a pure and perfect felicity under the shadow of his wings. There is rest from our labours, peace from our enemies, freedom from our Sins. There we shall be always joyful—always beholding the presence of Him, who has purchased and prepared for us this unutterable glory. “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.”
– Elizabeth Seton to Cecilia Seton, November 19, 1802.


The significance of this prayer is that it explains how Elizabeth found God and the bible after a long line of horrific events. Mrs Seton has finally found guidance and by preaching this prayer, this made her want to build Catholics schools for girls so that they can also find guidance from God and get an education.]]> 2020-06-14 02:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/23evanc/qepd7o5tgu7f/wish/625438340 The Our Father - Prayer 2 23evanc https://padlet.com/23evanc/qepd7o5tgu7f/wish/625482650 Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen


This prayer would have guided Elizabeth Ann Seton to do what God has intended us to do. As well as though she doesn't forgot what her duty is to do on earth.
