I will go anywhere and do anything to communicate the love of Jesus to those who do not know Him or have forgotten Him.” -St. Frances Xavier Cabrini

Born in Italy in 1850, Frances Cabrini came to the United States in 1889 to work with Italian immigrants. She established dozens of schools, orphanages, and hospitals across the country before her death in 1917. In 1946 she became the first US citizen to be declared a saint.

Prayer of Saint Frances Cabrini

My Jesus, I have not always recognized your loving plans for me. Every day, with the help of your light I learn more of you loving care. Continue to increase my awareness of the gentleness of your loving plans. I want to follow the purpose for which I was created. See, I am in your hands. Help me to choose the best way to serve you. Walk with me, Jesus. Stay by my side and guide me. Amen.
