S2 E1 Saints Who "Get It": Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

When you’re in the grief club, other grievers can be the most supportive because they “get it.”  So it makes sense that even  the Church acknowledges Saints who’ve experienced loss. After all, Saints are people just like us, enduring sadness, anger, loneliness and suffering. If there’s one saint who understands loss, it’s none other than St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Losing her mother at an early age, then her husband, her sister in law, and two of her children she was no stranger to grief. She’s not only the Patron Saint of Grievers but also the first American born Saint, and patron of converts and teachers. On today’s episode Jennifer and Andrea discuss  how this patron Saint of the Mourning Glory Podcast used her losses to beautify God’s plan  Both ladies look at how St. Elizabeth’s life served as an example of persevering despite hardship and what she can teach us about leaning on God in hard times.  If you have a question or would like to connect with Andrea and Jennifer, email us at ⁠[email protected]⁠ or reach out to them directly through ⁠Instagram ⁠or ⁠Facebook⁠. ⁠www.andreabearauthor.com⁠ ⁠www.jenniferjthomas.com
