November 13, 2025, Feast of St. Francis of Cabrini, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)
Description
Friends of the Rosary,
Today, the Catholic Church in the U.S. celebrates the Memorial of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917), a virgin and the first American citizen to be canonized.
Born in Lombardy, Italy, to a family of thirteen children, she came to America as a missionary, founding the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to care for poor children in schools and hospitals.
At her death, over five thousand children were receiving care in her charitable institutions. Her community extended to seventy houses in North and South America, France, Spain, and England.
After thirty-seven years of heroic charity, she was in Chicago, Illinois, while making dolls for orphans in preparation for a Christmas party.
She was canonized by Pius XII in 1946. She lies buried under the altar of the chapel of Mother Cabrini High School in New York City.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
