Wow, I knew next to nothing about Mother Cabrini. How could this be? How is this incredible woman not known to every woman, Catholic or not? Her life was truly all about what JPII calls "The Feminine Genius." In her short life, she died in her 60's, she opened more than 60 hospitals, orphanages and schools for poor immigrants. She didn't even speak English when she first arrived in America, and she was a whirlwind of good works, and deep spirituality. She traveled across this country when we still had the "wild west". She was in California, Seattle, New Orleans, Chicago and New York, wherever the poor Italian immigrant families had settled. She even became a U.S. citizen. A very good book, with lots of information, but never boring. What an amazing woman, what an amazing saint! Pray for us, St. Mother Cabrini!
