About today

Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850–1917), born in Lombardy, founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and crossed the ocean to serve Italian immigrants in the United States. She built schools, hospitals, and orphanages, and became a citizen of the country she served. The United States keeps her obligatory memorial on 13 November as a daughter who became a mother to immigrants. Ask today for a missionary heart toward the stranger at our docks and doorways, and for houses of mercy that outlast a generation.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
