Three ways to transform your New Year – Elizabeth Seton – “If 2014 wasn’t a stellar year in your life, you may want to begin 2015 by reading a biography of Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton—America’s first native-born canonized saint—for a little perspective” writes Zoe Romanowsky in Aleteia.

2) Look up!

3) Surrender to God’s will.
