Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini

Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini - First Citizen Saint of the United States - Patron of immigrants.

Mother Cabrini was not a humanitarian, she was a lover of God. In her missions of charity, in her achievement of the impossible, it was not genius; her secret was Divine Love. This is a story of a woman who lived among us, who saw things we see, a woman in whose soul Divine Love had consumed the last remnant of self, who came to love only God, and who saw God in every poor man, woman and child.

Our saint issues a challenge to each of us. Our works in life may be modest, our achievements in the eyes of men insignificant, but we dare hope to be great in the sight of God; and the little things can become big things, and the trials can be blessings, and no matter how gloomy the world about us may be, we can smile the smile of our saint. Wonderful as were her works as were her works in life, more wonderful are and will ever be her works after death.
