St. Elizabeth Ann Seton 

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Community is a welcoming and active, Roman Catholic parish serving the community of Mill Creek / Bothell, Washington. Our parish is served by the Religious Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit under the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. We are a diverse community of believers, guided by the Holy Spirit and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are a community that welcomes all people, inviting them into our spiritual home as we deepen our relationship with God. We are one faith family, united by our Lord and Savior,  Jesus Christ. Welcome to our faith community. I invite you to join us for liturgy and fellowship. 

The Rosary is a synthesis of the mysteries of Christ: we contemplate them with Mary, who allows us to see with her eyes of faith and love.

“In our continuing catechesis on the family, we reflect ... on the connection between the family and the Christian community. The Church is the home of those who believe in Jesus Christ as the source of the unity of the entire human family. Christ chose to enter our history, to become part of a human family, and to form a community which welcomes all who wish to hear his good news of the Father’s love.” - Pope Francis

The Triduum liturgies at St. EAS gave us the opportunity to go on a beautiful journey as we celebrated the Paschal Mystery.

Dear brothers and sisters, in these last few weeks of Easter, we have been proclaiming that the Lord Jesus has risen. On the second Sunday of Easter, the liturgical readings opened our eyes to the early history of the Christian Church. The following Sunday, we remembered our loyalty to the Lord Jesus. Last week, we reflected on Jesus as the Good Shepherd, listening to his voice and following him. Today, we are called to reflect on our loving service in the name of our Lord Jesus. In the Gospel reading this Sunday we hear the words of Jesus when he gave us a new commandment: "As I have loved you, you must also love yourself." To this, Jesus added: "By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." By shining with love for one another, others will know that we are disciples of Jesus. These words of Jesus remind us of the words found in the First Letter of Saint John. "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; All those who love are born of God and know God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. " "God is love, and those who remain in love remain in God, and God abides in them." "Those who say, I love God, but hate their brothers or sisters, they are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. The command that we have of Jesus is this, those who love God must also love their brothers and sisters. "

My brothers and sisters, the love we have for our brothers and sisters is only a reflection of the love we have for God. If we love God, we seek to please Him in all things. To please God, we must obey Jesus' command to love one another. Through our obedience to this commandment, our love is perfected in the Lord Jesus so that the heavenly Father loves us as He loves His only begotten Son. Because perfect love unites the children of God, without exception. If the biological brothers and sisters are divided among themselves, where is the love of God? If parents deny their children or children continually disobey their parents, where is the love of God? If a family is divided and nobody is doing anything to reunite it in the love of God, where is the love of God? It is not in the family and it is not in those who know the family and remain silent before the division that shelters anger, hatred, violence, verbal abuse and all the works of Satan. Where is the love of God when the unborn are aborted? When the lives of the elderly and the sick are discarded? When the elderly are abandoned by their relatives?

In the Acts of the Apostles, we hear about the service done in love by Christians for each other in the Lord Jesus, a service worthy of praise. Paul and Barnabas continued their mission from city to city, "strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith." To shine by serving in love in the name of the Lord Jesus is to imitate the saints of the Church, like Saint Paul. In his love for Jesus, he appointed elders to guide the believers in every church. Being witnesses of the power of the Holy Spirit by the grace of God the Father, they shared their spiritual joy with their brothers and sisters in Christ. In doing so, they were strengthening the faith and hope of the believers. It is the same today when each of us shares our personal experience of God's great love for each one of us.
