Hello, hope all is well.

Frances Xavier Cabrini is one of the first American saints. She was a person who wanted to be a missionary. Unable to join such a religious order, she, with the permission of the Bishop, established the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

Her hope was to go to China and open an orphanage. But at the urging of Pope Leo XIII that she and her sisters went to New York to work where thousands of Italian immigrants needed spiritual and physical help. 

Someone once said, “When Jesus comes again in His glory, may He find the naked clothed; the poor housed; the suffering comforted; the persecuted vindicated and all of His people joyful.” Frances spent her life and the lives of her sisters that this saying may be fulfilled. 

The mission of the Church is still on going. There are still brothers and sisters out there that are in need. Will Christ arrive to find there needs meet? True, we cannot answer all those in need, but we surly can answer the need of one or two. That will make all the difference in theirs lives. 

Peace and All Good, 

Fr. Vinnie, fcm and the

Franciscan House of Prayer.
