May Christ bring us all together to everlasting life.

THE LORD OF ALL SHOWS NO PARTIALITY, NOR DOES HE FEAR GREATNESS, BECAUSE HE HIMSELF MADE THE GREAT AS WELL AS THE SMALL, AND HE PROVIDES FOR ALL ALIKE.
(Wis 6:7)

As we celebrate all saints of the Benedictine Family and Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, an immigrant from Italy and the first United States citizen to be canonized, may we all glorify God with a loud voice, fall at the feet of Jesus, and thank him for our respective vocations: In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus (Gospel Acclamation, Mass).

May your spirit, oh, my God, which once breathed over the chaos of the earth-may it give life to all the powers of my soul and direct them to serve you according to your will with total fidelity.
(Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini)

Christianity from the beginning was preached by the laity. You too, the laity, are responsible for your Baptism to carry on the faith.
(Pope Francis, Angelus Address, November 13, 2019)

Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.
(Lk 17:19)

ALL SAINTS OF THE BENEDICTINE FAMILY,
SAINT FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI,
PRAY FOR US.
