Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Religious Lectionary: 207The Saint of the day is Saint Elizabeth Ann SetonSaint Elizabeth Ann Seton's Story Mother Seton is one of the keystones of the American Catholic Church. She founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity. She opened the first American parish school and established the first American Catholic orphanage. All this she did in the span of 46 years while raising her five children. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton is a true daughter of the American Revolution, born August 28, 1774, just two years before the Declaration of Independence. By birth and marriage, she was linked to the first families of New York and enjoyed the fruits of high society. Reared a staunch Episcopalian, she learned the value of prayer, Scripture and a nightly examination of conscience. Her father, Dr. Richard Bayley, did not have much use for churches but was a great humanitarian, teaching his daughter to love and serve others. The early deaths of her mother in 1777 and her baby sister in 1778 gave Elizabeth a feel for eternity and the temporariness of the pilgrim life on earth. Far from being brooding and sullen, she faced each new “holocaust,” as she put it, with hopeful cheerfulness. At 19, Elizabeth was the belle of New York and married a handsome, wealthy businessman, William Magee Seton. They had five children before his business failed and he died of tuberculosis. At 30, Elizabeth was widowed and penniless, with five small children to support. While in Italy with her dying husband, Elizabeth witnessed Catholicity in action through family friends. Three basic points led her to become a Catholic: belief in the Real Presence, devotion to the Blessed Mother and conviction that the Catholic Church led back to the apostles and to Christ. Many of her family and friends rejected her when she became a Catholic in March 1805. To support her children, she opened a school in Baltimore. From the beginning, her group followed the lines of a religious community, which was officially founded in 1809. The thousand or more letters of Mother Seton reveal the development of her spiritual life from ordinary goodness to heroic sanctity. She suffered great trials of sickness, misunderstanding, the death of loved ones (her husband and two young daughters) and the heartache of a wayward son. She died January 4, 1821, and became the first American-born citizen to be beatified (1963) and then canonized (1975). She is buried in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Reflection Elizabeth Ann Seton had no extraordinary gifts. She was not a mystic or stigmatic. She did not prophesy or speak in tongues. She had two great devotions: abandonment to the will of God and an ardent love for the Blessed Sacrament. She wrote to a friend, Julia Scott, that she would prefer to exchange the world for a “cave or a desert.” “But God has given me a great deal to do, and I have always and hope always to prefer his will to every wish of my own.” Her brand of sanctity is open to everyone if we love God and do his will.

Friends of the Rosary, Happy New Year in Christ! Today, January 4, the first Saturday of the month, we celebrate the memorial day of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821), the first citizen of the U.S. to be canonized a saint. She is the patron saint of Catholic schools, widows, loss of parents and children, and people ridiculed for their piety. In Maryland, Elizabeth Ann Seton, Mother Seton, founded a congregation of sisters — the Sisters of Charity of Saint Joseph — and started the first Catholic grade school in America. Her mission to educate the poor and teach in orphanages formed the beginning of the American parochial school system. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Pray for Us!

In New Orleans, a US Army veteran drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street. The archbishop of New Orleans, the Vatican and world leaders are reacting. And this weekend marks the feast of the first American-born saint, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

We've mentioned some saints before here on the Mourning Glory Podcast including St. Faustina, St, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and recently touched on St. Dymphna. Some saints are more well-known than others like St. Teresa of Avila, St. Catherine of Sienna and St. John Bosco, just to name a few. However, one saint in particular, St. Therese of Lisieux seems to generate a mixed reaction. Yet, she suffered greatly throughout her life and is an inspiration for remaining faithful through grief and sorrow.About St. ThérèseSt. Thérèse of Lisieux was born January 2, 1873, Alençon, France and died September 30, 1897. She was canonized on May 17, 1925 and her feast day is celebrated on October 1. Therese was a Carmelite nun whose service to her Roman Catholic order, although outwardly unremarkable, was later recognized for its exemplary spiritual accomplishments. She was named a doctor of the church by Pope John Paul II in 1997. She is a patron saint of missionaries, florists, pilots, and priests. She is also invoked on behalf of the sick and is commonly referred to as the “little flower”.So what Is it about her that generates mixed reactions? Is it the fact that some think of her as a little girl dancing around with flowers in the French countryside, singing songs? What is it about her “little ways” that people DO respond to and what makes her so influential and adored by many?Guest BioRosaline (Roz) Cruz-Rine, MA, MFT has been a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist for over 19 years. She has treated Children, Adolescents, Adults, Families, and Groups in all areas pertaining to Mental Health. Having recently closed her private practice of 17 years, she now works for St. Michael's Catholic Church in Stockton, CA. as the Director of Adult Faith Formation which began as a volunteer position over 10 years ago. She continues clinical work with referred clients and has begun a faith-based grief support group in her parish. Her work continues to include Trauma, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other areas which can result in Grief and/or Loss.She is the mother of seven adult children, and a grandmother of four grandsons, Roz, and her husband, Kevin, live in Stockton, Ca with their youngest son, John, their three spirited dogs, and one very demanding cat. She enjoys gardening, and is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to Mama Mary, is a self avowed clotheshorse, and must have coffee with her favorite creamer daily.Links from the show​Society of the Little Flower​Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux (the Little Flower)​The Context of Holiness: Psychological and Spiritual Reflections on the Life of St. Therese of Lisieux by Marc FoleyJournaling Questions​Where do you see joy in your life?​Reflect on today's episode.

Join us for an engaging and heartfelt journey through Italian American heritage and filmmaking. We were lucky to have this fascinating discussion with filmmakers Mary Lou and Jerome Bongiorno. In this podcast, they each shared their rich Italian roots, tracing back to the Veneto region and connections to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." The conversation also explores the distinct Italian communities within Newark, New Jersey, and their cultural nuances. Most importantly though this conversation navigates the world of Italian cinema and its profound cultural impact. Reflecting on the Newark Riots Rebellion of 1967, the discussion shifts to the brilliance of legendary Italian filmmakers like Federico Fellini, Antonioni, Rossellini, and Pasolini. Their works continue to inspire and shape contemporary cinema. The conversation also touches on the humanity of canonized saints, such as Elizabeth Ann Seton and Mother Cabrini, shedding light on their personal struggles and remarkable achievements. In the final chapters, we explore family secrets and cultural expectations, examining how societal pressures shaped personal histories, particularly among the World War I and II generations. The conversation shifts to the impact of family dynamics in Italian-American filmmaking, focusing on Martin Scorsese's relationship with his mother, Catherine. We discuss the broader significance of authentic representation in Italian-American media, moving beyond stereotypical portrayals to highlight diverse stories and achievements. Finally, we share insights from our recent filming experience in Sicily, capturing the evolving landscape of Italian society through unique narratives. Join us for this rich tapestry of stories, culture, and history. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/italianamerican/support
