A Message From Our Director

Magnificat Anima Mea Dominum!
My Soul magnifies the Lord and my Spirit rejoices in God My Savior.

And Mary said, “Let it be done to me as you say”. Those words opened for Mary a life she could never have imagined. She was blessed with happiness as well as with sorrows. One can only imagine and wonder about Mary’s joys and sorrows! What was it like for Mary who was so close to God to experience this joy and sorrow? What was it like for Mary to learn, experience, and participate in the process of redemption?

Can we feel with Mary the sorrow, confusion, wonders as well as her faith filled presence? Can we experience redemption and conversion where is needed? Let’s open the areas that still need healing and allow redemption to touch us. With God all is possible! Let’s open our hearts and allow God’s love to fill and overflow our heart. Mary Mother of God and Our Mother Pray for us and protect us!!!

What is the most powerful Catholic prayer?
It’s quickly spoken and is the backbone of the devotion of the Rosary, which is easily the world's most powerful devotion. With countless miracles and conversions to its credit, the Hail Mary is a powerful composition. Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.

May 25th is the feast of Pentecost. Mary was the first one to receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a gift to all of us. Ask and you shall receive! Ask the Holy Spirit for His presence. Just make sure you are sincere and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is our Lord.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You will renew the face of the earth. Amen


God Bless!

TODAY IS THE FEAST OF
ST JOSEPH THE WORKER
Joseph, patron saint of workers,
blending skill with charity,
silent carpenter, we praise you!
Joining work with honesty,
you taught Christ with joy to labor,
sharing his nobility.
Joseph, close to Christ and Mary,
lived with them in poverty,
shared with them their home and labor,
worked with noble dignity.
May we seek God’s will as you did,
leader of his family!
Joseph, inspiration for workers,
man of faith and charity,
make us honest, humble, faithful,
strong with Christ’s true liberty,
Make our labor and our leisure
fruitful to eternity!
PENTECOST
Pentecost Prayer
God of power, 
may the boldness of your Spirit transform us,
may the gentleness of your Spirit lead us,
may the gifts of your Spirit
be our goal and our strength,
now and always. Amen.

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT CORNER

Preserve the Memory of a Loved One on
Mother Cabrini's Wall of Remembrance

Among the gems within the Shrine is Mother Cabrini’s Wall of Remembrance (located up the chapel stairs and to the right). Plaques on the wall are a beautiful and sacred way to honor those you love and is something that remains forever.
Have you Considered a Recurring Gift to the Shrine?

Recurring giving is when a donor chooses to make a regular,
ongoing donation instead of a one-time gift. 
The gift can be made in any amount of your choosing and you indicate the frequency - weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. 
This way of giving provides the Shrine with a reliable stream of revenue and allows us to plan more long term. For you, it is a beautiful way to express your devotion and generosity to Mother Cabrini, our Missionary Sisters and to the Shrine.

If a recurring gift is a practical option for you, please click here

If you have questions or require additional information regarding Mother Cabrini’s Wall of Remembrance or in making a recurring gift to the Shrine,
kindly contact Sr. Bridget at 773-360-5733 or Barb Willis at 773-360-5746.

The Shrine is reliant on your support so that we can continue our mission in bringing God to people and people to God. All of us here at the Shrine remain deeply grateful for your support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
