\"Santa<\/a>Followed the\u00a0way of the Magisterium with the religious Daughters of the sacred heart of Jesus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Called by Pius XII “hero of modern times”, Saint Frances Cabrini was born in Sant’Angelo in Lomabardia, Italy, in L\u00f3di, in 1850. The l<\/span>ast of 13 children of Augustine Cabr\u00edni and Estela Oldini, she received in baptism the name of Maria Francisca, which later\u00a0she added\u00a0the Xavier, for\u00a0her love and veneration of the Apostle of the India.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 11-year-old made a vow of chastity. <\/span>Followed the\u00a0way of the Magisterium with the religious Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Athens, she ended that journey\u00a0at 18 years. <\/span>Feeling divine vocation, she intended to enter to this religious congregation, but was refused due to\u00a0ill health.<\/span><\/p>\n

She practiced as\u00a0schoolteacher in Vidardo for two years and then\u00a0three years she devoted herself in her country to the religious education of youth and the treatment of the sick and of those who were hit by the plague. At 2<\/span>3 years old she tried to once again to enter\u00a0the Daughters of the Sacred Heart, but again obtained a negative.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, Saint Frances moved to the “House of Providence” in Codogno. . . She made her\u00a0<\/span>profession in 1877 and from there, amid great tribulations and sufferings, she found the first seven companions of her future work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three years later, she founded a new religious congregation. <\/span>The 10 November 1880 lodged with seven companions, a dismantled Franciscan convent, where 14 of the same month, gave beginning to the new Institute, with the inauguration of a chapel in honor of the sacred heart of Jesus. <\/span>A month later, his work received episcopal approval. <\/span>Frances counted then 30 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

While devoted to the companions to education of girls and the catechesis of the boys, was composing\u00a0her institute’s rules, work of superhuman prudence, which received episcopal approval in 1881 and the Holy see in 1907. <\/span>In 1884, with 7 years of life, the work already had five houses.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1887 she moved to Rome where, at first, only found trouble and closed doors until, with faith, simplicity and perseverance, St. Frances\u00a0 obtained the permission of Cardinal vicar to build a free school for poor people outside the Porta Pia and a children’s asylum in Sabina, in Aspra.<\/p>\n

The problem of Italian emigration to North America concerned\u00a0the then Bishop of Placen\u00e7a, Mons. <\/span>Scalabrini, who asked the servants of God for some of their religious to go rescue those stranded. <\/span>But the virtuous founder\u00a0decided not to respond, because she\u00a0thought\u00a0of the missions of the East. <\/span>Then she consulted\u00a0Pope Leo XIII who, after hearing Frances, concluded: “No to the East but to the West”.<\/i> <\/span>And from that moment it was decided that she would\u00a0depart for New York, which she saw for\u00a0the first time in 1889.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost 40 years of age, she begins a series of journeys, covering the whole of America, crossing the Andes on horseback, being everywhere known as the “mother of migrants”.<\/i> She went from\u00a0<\/span>from House to house in search of the lost sheep, the sick and children ignorant. <\/span>Fought strongly\u00a0against hunger, disease and death itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1912 she made her last trip from Rome to New York. <\/span>The Holy foundress of the missionaries of the Sacred Heart<\/i> died in Illinois, near Chicago, the 22 December 1917, with 67 years of age. <\/span>Equal\u00a0to the number of houses that she had\u00a0founded\u00a0and\u00a0I 1938 that climbed to more than 100, with approximately of 4000 religious.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fame of her virtues and the miracles attributed to her\u00a0shortly after the death\u00a0started the process of his beatification, which came to be held in 1938. <\/span>She was canonized by Pope Pius XII on 7 July 1946.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her body is buried in New York City at the Mother Cabrini Shrine<\/a><\/p>\n
