 Stand In The Gap With Us And The St. Frances Xavier Cabrini 11/13/2023 The American frontier became a place where history was made when a young nation began to grow and expand. Despite Indian wars and the Civil War, there were many positives that accompanied the taming of a dangerous land. There were many Catholics who had a long reaching affect such as St. Rose Philippine Duchesne whose impact among the great Potawatomi Indians of Kansas brought peace and a love for Christ. Another such great American who touched many through hardship and trials was that of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini. Youngest of thirteen children, Maria Francesca Cabrini was born July 15, 1850 premature, so from her beginning, St. Frances Cabrini was fragile in the body, yet her spirit was strong. Being raised in Italy, St. Frances Cabrini was raised a committed Catholic dedicating herself to Our Lady serving the Lord's people through the art of education. Being instructed in the Faith through the Daughters of the Sacred Heart, St. Frances Cabrini had a special love for the Heart of Christ. She loved Jesus in the Eucharist to a heroic degree. From her early age she wanted to reach the world for Christ.
