Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton lived from 1774 to 1821, a convert to the Catholic belief, Ms. Seton was the founder of the Sisters of Charity organization in America. In addition, Elizabeth was the first person born in the United States to be canonized and honored as a Saint. Whereas, a number of miracles, religious signs and symbols have been named after the Saint in what has become known as The Seton Miracles.
Seton comes from Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton who was born in the mid-1700s and lived to the mid-1820s. For, before being canonized Ms. Seton cured three different individuals of what had been determined to be fatal illnesses. In one case, Ms. Seton cured Anne Theresa O'Neil of a fatal form of childhood leukemia.
When it comes to miracles named for the saint, there are numerous. While this is the case, there are still a number of skeptics whom believe the events have been nothing more than hoaxes. Whereas, a number of true believers swear that there were no external forces present when the miracles appeared.
Some of the most well known of these mystical occurrences include the statue Our Lady of Medjugorje weeping at a meeting of the SEAS's Knights of Columbus in Spring of 1992. In addition, many other statues have also been reported to weep. Whereas, a number of blessings, healings, beautiful smells, changing colors in rosary beads, statues turning different colors while being gazed upon and other supernatural events also occurred from 1991 through mid-late 1993.
All in all, there have been hundreds of statues in numerous locations which have been reported to weep. In addition, there have also been reports of pictures with moving images and crucifixes which bleed. One of the most interesting of these miracles is that of the stigmata which effected Father Jim about a month after having witnessed an Our Lady of Statue weep at the family home the previous Thanksgiving.
While being pressured for additional information, the parishioner whom reported the stigmata and other incidents indicated the information had been provided by someone else. After which, the staff member found Father Jim in the rectory and notified the priest of the incidents. At which time, the priest informed the staff member that the miracles were real and had started the previous Thanksgiving in which an Our Lady of Grace statue at the family home had actually wept.
During the conversation between the staff member and Father Bruse regarding these events, a rather small Madonna statue made of plastic sitting on the credenza began to cry. In this case, with water flowing rapidly from the eyes down across the cheekbones, the term crying was the only possible term which could be used to explain the experience. Whereas, most other statues had been reported as weeping in the past.
Since the early 1990s, there have been other reports of over two dozen supernatural events in which icons made out of different types of materials have been known to have been seen weeping, changing colors or bleeding. In fact, there were even statues in a glass case in the rectory at the Elizabeth Ann Seton church in Virginia which appeared to weep while Father Jim was there for a church dinner.
