Well, Catholic Pilgrims, today we will finish the last letter. This has been a long one as we heard about Mother Cabrini’s travels around the western United States. It’s been interesting, at least for me, to hear about all the places she’s visited, because I’ve been to quite a lot of the same places. Currently, I live in California, not too far from Los Angeles. She’s, also, going to talk about Catalina Island in our readings today and my family went there awhile back to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.
But, after this reading, I’m going to give my reflection and I can’t ignore the elephant in the room anymore. Mother Cabrini is the patron saint of immigrants. Immigration is a highly controversial issue right now in America and in Europe. So, we need to talk about it and we will at the end.
So, let’s go ahead and open our books to page 335 and start at the bottom paragraph.
