Elizabeth Ann Seton

Honored: 4 January
Rank: —
Status: Saint
Birth: 28 August 1774
Death: 4 January 1821

We must pray without ceasing, in every occurrence and employment of our lives - that prayer which is rather a habit of lifting up the heart to God as in a constant communication with Him.

The first end I propose in our daily work is to do the will of God; secondly, to do it in the manner he wills it; and thirdly to do it because it is his will.

Faith lifts the soul. Hope supports it. Experience says it must. And Love says let it be!
