November 13 – Saint Frances Cabrini

Holy Spirit, when Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini was a child, she pretended she was a missionary to China as she sailed paper boats on a stream.  Although You eventually sent her west to America instead of East to the Orient, her childhood games shaped her desire to serve You.  I ask her to pray for our children to be protected from the lure of games that are worldly, violent, or occultic.  O Lord, prevent society’s influences from blocking their desire to serve You when they grow up.  Touch their souls to make them uneasy about games that erode their love for You and teach them to listen to Your guidance.  Saint Frances, pray for us.  Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)

Blessed is the soul who trusts in Jesus, because He is lavish in His promises and generous in giving His graces and treasures.”

Prayer is powerful! It fills the earth with mercy, it makes the Divine clemency pass from generation to generation; right along the course of the centuries wonderful works have been achieved through prayer.”

The prayer above is from Terry Modica’s book Daily Prayers with the Saints.
