Explore the life and legacy of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonized, through this short yet transformative thirty-day retreat. Cabrini was known for her tireless devotion to orphans, immigrants, and the sick, and her unshakable courage and missionary zeal were driven by her deep love for Jesus and his Sacred Heart.
In Hope Without Borders, you’ll explore the spiritual practices that fueled Cabrini’s remarkable life. Drawing from her journals, letters, and retreat notes, this book provides daily meditations, reflections, and short prayers to guide your journey. Cabrini’s writings, inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, reveal how retreat and prayer became her wellspring of strength, enabling her to persevere in her mission. As Cabrini herself wrote, “It is in retreat that the soul learns to give internal glances at the beauty and goodness of God.”
Whether you’re seeking to deepen your prayer life or reconnect with God amid a busy schedule, Hope Without Borders offers a practical and inspiring path. An excellent addition to the Great Spiritual Teacher series, this book is an accessible companion for anyone looking to root their spiritual practice in the wisdom of the saints.
