Have a blessed Feast of the Transfiguration! “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” (Matthew 17:5)

The example of Peter during the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor warns us against taking easy roads to holiness, a lesson that Mother Seton embodied in her life. She always stayed on the narrow path, walking alongside Christ, all the way to heaven setonshrine.org/the-fervor-of-…

Today in 1809, Rose White and several women joined Mother Seton in Emmitsburg. Sr. Rose would go on to make an impact with her work, and moved to Philly and later NY to care for orphans. The mission in NY led to the founding of the Sisters of Charity of NY. @SistersofCharityNY

St. Martha is counted as one of the blessed, despite her fears and anxieties, and difficulties in understanding her vocation. What she and Mother Seton teach us is that only in Christ’s call for our lives do we find true joy and consolation. setonshrine.org/women-of-the-b…
