LifeStoryofMotherCabrini

"AmericanSaint,"byMabel Farnum,isthestoryofFrancesca Cabrini,Italiannun,whobecame anAmericancitizenin1909.She diedatColombusHospital,CTfcago,onDecember22,1917.In 1948thefirststepstowardsher canonisationweretaken.The inquirywentonsuccessfully,and onJuly31,1938,PopePiusXl. issuedtheDecreeofBeatification. TheDecreeofCanonisationwas issuedbythepresentPontiff, PiusXII.,onJanuary11,1944.

OnJuly7,1946,shewassolemnlyraisedtothehighesthonours ofthealtarandpronounceda Saint.Itwasaninstanceof singularlyrapidpromotionofa Cause. thisbooktracesbriefly,and inplain,unadornedlanguage, thesalientfeaturesofMother Cabrini'slife.Itpurportstobe abookforyoungpeople,andthis mustbeitsexcuseforappearing scrappyanddisjointed.Adult readerswithaneyeforliterary excellenceandatasteforwelldocumentedbiography,maywell bedisappointed,asthestyleis almostjournalisticinitsbareness.However,theyneednot therebybedissuadedfromperusingwhatiscertainlyaninterestingrecordoftheworld'smost modernsaint.

FoundressofMissionary Order.

FrancescaCabriniwasbornon July15,1850.Offrailanddelicateconstitution,shewasfrom thefirstseizedwithanambition shecouldhardlyhopetofulfil. Shewantedtobeamisisonary. Herfather,afarmerinLombardy,innorthernItaly,unconsciouslyfannedthesmallchild's ambitionbyreadingstoriesfrom amissionmagazinetohisfamily ofthirteenboysandgirls.Francesca,theyoungest,listenedto thestorieswithraaitattention. HermotherwasaregularattendantatdailyMass.

Aftermakingtwounsuccessful attemptstoentertheConventof theDaughtersoftheSacred Heart,Francescawasaskedby theparishpriestofCodognoto renderassistanceatanorphanageinthattown.Sheremainedthereforsixyears,during ohichtimeshewasmadeSuperior.Sheencounteredmanydifficultiesattheoutset,owingtothe hostilityofstaffmemberswho hadbecomelaxandungracious. Thiswasreallythebeginningof herlifeasareligious,andshe wentontofoundanewOrder knownastheMissionarySisters oftheSacredHeart.Francesca nurturedamostferventdevotion totheSacredHeart. Determinedtobeatruemis-
