J.M.J. V. Praised be Jesus Christ! R. Both now and forever!

Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) was the first citizen of the United States of America to be canonized. Pope Pius XII did so on July 7, 1946.

Blessed with extraordinary zeal, she established numerous hospitals, orphanages and schools. She also founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. 

What she did was done for love of Christ.

May Our Lady help us to follow the example of Saint Frances Xavier by living for Jesus.
