SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON (1774-1821) January 4 Though her liturgical designation is “Religious,” Elizabeth Seton, her feast-day prayer reminds us, was also wife, mother, educa-tor, foundress. Born into a wealthy Episcopalian family, Elizabeth married William Seton, whose untimely death in Italy where the young family sought healing for William’s tuberculosis, left her, at twenty-nine, a widow with five children. Inspired by the faith and charity of the Italian family with whom they stayed, Elizabeth em-braced Catholicism despite her family’s disown-ing her and ceasing financial support. This woman of many firsts (and several vocations!) opened the first free Catholic school, beginning the American Catholic educational system, and founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity. The tuberculo-sis that claimed her husband took also her oldest and youngest daughters and, finally, at just forty-seven, Elizabeth herself. Another first: in 1975 she was canonized the first native-born American saint. Once asked to summarize her spirituality, she replied: “Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side, hope supports it on the other, experi-ence says it must be, and love says let it be!” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

January 5, 2020 THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD

Please fill out the form that is in the pews with you choice, why and a phone number if possible. Voting by the parish shall occur during the FOURTH weekend masses in January. Pic-tures of the candidates will be posted on the THIRD Sunday of January, with their name and a statement about the candidate. All nominated persons shall be invited to attend every mass during the FOURTH weekend in January.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD Epiphany can be understood as an extension of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on December 25. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus’ coming as the long-awaited king and Messiah of the Jewish peo-ple, on Epiphany we celebrate the revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all nations—Jews, Gentiles, and all people. The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come from far distant countries to worship Jesus. They are not Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the world. The letter to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the world was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews—Christ gathers all people into the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also describes a gather-ing of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light that emanates from the people of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
