Welcome back, Catholic Pilgrims. Mother Cabrini isn’t feeling particularly well today as we will hear in her writings. I think something to keep in mind as we travel around with her is that she had very frail health. She was born prematurely and, being born in 1850, that set her up for a life of struggling with her health being as the medical care isn’t what we have today.
Then, as a young girl, she almost drowned, which is where she got the fear of water. If you saw the movie, the drowning is depicted. So, this would have only added to her fragility. And yet, through all this, she carries on.
Today, Mother Cabrini is resting and taking some time for meditation as she sails on the ocean. Let’s open to page 36.
