Saint Frances of Rome.

 

Our last Mother, I share with you all is Saint Frances of Rome, Saint Frances of Rome was born into a noble Roman family in 1384, at the age of eleven she wanted to be a nun but at the age of twelve she married another Roman noble to obey her father and became an exemplary wife and the mother of three children. Soon after their marriage, Saint Frances fell ill, her husband called a man who did magic, but Saint Frances drove him away. Then soon after Saint Alexis appeared to her and cured her. From then on, she began to be more aware of the presence and assistance of her guardian angel. There were many sorrows in her marriage, she lost two children to the plague, chaos ruled the city, Saint Frances opened her home as a hospital and drove her wagon through the country side to collect wood for the fire and herbs for the medicine. It is said, Saint Frances, had the gift of healing and there were sixty cases attesting to during the canonization. Saint Frances, who was a wife, mother, mystic, organizer of charitable services and Benedictine oblate who founded a religious community of oblates, who share a common life without religious vows. It was said; Saint Frances, turned her house into a hospital, distributing food and clothing to the poor. Her father in law wanted to take her keys until he saw the corn bin and wine barrel were replenished after Saint Frances finished praying.

“A married woman must often leave God at the altar to find him in her household care.” Saint Frances of Rome.

“Hope everything from the mercy of God; it is as boundless as His power.” Saint Frances of Rome.

May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope.
