Saint + Elizabeth + Ann + Seton + Parish

(August 29, 2021) Father Samuel Dubois, the parochial vicar of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, asks what the opposite of hypocrisy is. “That is authenticity, integrity, holiness. Jesus will help us be authentic and integral people if we ask Him for His help,” he said.Every Christian needs to ask themself the following questions: “How do we want to live? Who do we want to be like? Will be we like Christ or like our own distorted image of ourselves?”Of course, Father says, all these are questions we know the answer to. “Each of us has beautiful qualities and good things we should be proud of; things we should give thanks to God for – but we also have areas to grow. And the only way that will happen is if we imitate Christ, who emptied Himself of self, who laid aside His glory so that we might be free, so that we might know Him,” Father Dubois said.
