Inflamed by God's Love

A slight Italian Sister, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini arrived at Ellis Island with six sisters in 1889 and began a dynamic career that lasted 28 years and established schools, hospitals and orphanages across the United States, in Brazil, Argentina and Nicaragua. Her Institute is also located in England, France and Spain  Supposedly too sickly to be admitted to the convent, as her health improved, she became a teacher and then founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. She had a huge heart, and deep trust in Divine Providence, and allowed herself, inflamed by God's love, to be his unwavering and dynamic instrument.
We might think ourselves "too sickly" to undertake much smaller requests from our communities, our families, our parishes, or God himself, but Mother Cabrini stands as an example of what love, trust and God's grace can do.  May we never underestimate the power of such a combination.  Lord, what do you want me to do? With you, nothing is impossible.  Lead me and I will follow.
