1 T * TRIUMPH— (Continued from Page 2) love of God. Formal ratification of the rules and constitutions of the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph’s took place on January 17, 1812. On January 1, 1821, three days before her death at Em- mitsburg, Mother Seton said to a nun who requested that she drink her medicine: “Never mind the drink. One Commun ion more—and then Eternity.” And she kept the fast for the sake of her last Communion on earth. She died on January 4, 1821. Above the spot that com memorates her death there is an inscription that includes the following sentence: “She died in poverty, but rich in faith and good works.” How successful her efforts were is attested by the fact that today there are more than 10,000 Sisters of Charity in six branch communities stem ming from the Emmitsburg foundation. The work of the Sisters extends into many areas, including nursing, child care, education, hospital work, care of the aged and missionary activities. Mother Seton was declared Venerable at a ceremony in Vatican City on December 18, 1959. In an address for the occasion, Pope John XXIII said that Elizabeth Seton proposes “by the outline of her life, the theme of evangilical charity.” He also said: “As a devoted and faithful wife, as a wise educator of her children, as a patient manager of her house hold tasks in prosperity and adversity, she already appeared in an admirable, glowing light. But when the burning dart of charity touched her heart more deeply, then she knew no other measure than the perfect imi tation of Him who out of love for us became Man and died on the Cross.” In February, 1963, the Sa cred Congregation of Rites is sued a decree approving the au thenticity of two miracles worked through the intercession of Mother Seton.
