"On Saturday, June 8, 2019, The Coming Home Network [hosted] a day of reflection at the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
There are a number of ways in which St. Elizabeth is a uniquely
appropriate spiritual companion for converts and journeyers. She was
drawn by the Eucharist, struggled with her desire to enter the Church,
and faced opposition from loved ones when she decided to become
Catholic. Furthermore, she experienced all of these struggles and joys
as a wife and mother in an American context.
"In addition to all of that, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton serves as a model
for converts to the Catholic Faith in that she did something well that
so many of us struggle to do: she took her gifts from a lifetime
relationship with Christ outside the Church and figured out how to use
them inside the Church after she entered."
A recent Coming Home Network post offered a reflection on the life and legacy of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
