God our Father, giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reclaim this land for your glory and dwell among your people.
Send your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation's leaders. Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Remind your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing your will.
Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, patroness of our land, grant us the courage to reject the "culture of death." Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

Cabrini World Saints Next Door
|
On June 17th Cabrini World in collaboration with the National Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini and the
Cabrini Retreat Center in Des Plaines, IL hosted a Zoom webinar live from Rome with Sister Bernadette Anello, MSC General Councilor.
In this first of a Cabrini series of webinars, Sister Bernadette spoke about the Missionary Sisters response to COVID-19. She described how 2020 makes us think of perfect vision yet this year invites us to correct our faulty vision. This pandemic propels us to a new phase of living and in this time of isolation, who are the people among us that we can call the "Saints Next Door?"
She conveys Pope Francis's message that as missionary disciples we are to become a field hospital of service to all humanity and shares with us examples of the Cabrini World Saints Next Door.
As we prepared for the Feast of the Sacred Heart on June 19, Sister Bernadette reminds us of Mother Cabrini's travel to Buenos Aires in 1895 over rough seas and her words of encouragement to the missionary sisters, "When we are faithful to our promises, the heart of Jesus guides us along paths of justice and holiness. His loving light shines on us and restores us."
