Friends of the Rosary,
Today, November 13, we honor St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian missionary who spent much of her life working with Italian immigrants in the U.S. She is the patron of immigrants.
Mother Cabrini established orphanages, hospitals, convents, and schools to help immigrants and to care for the sick and abandoned.
She orphaned herself in Italy before she was 18. She joined the Sisters of the Sacred Heart and took on the name “Xavier” in honor of St. Francis Xavier, the great universal missionary.
From a young age, she longed to be a missionary in China, but God had other plans.
At the advice of Pope Leo XIII, who told her, “Not to the East, but to the West,” she focused her missionary efforts on the United States.
She died in 1917 and was canonized in 1946, just before a new wave of immigrants began to arrive in the U.S.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Saint Frances Cabrini, pray for us!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
