In this holy shrine where St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s mortal remains lie, on these grounds where America’s first natural-born canonized saint walked, it is right that we should take hold of this great saint’s Eucharistic vision.

No, it’s about allowing ourselves to be “all lost in wonder” as our eyes of faith behold something of God grandeur and glory, as we experience something of his love, as we allow the love that reigns supreme in the Trinity to reign supreme in us.
