Episode 146 - At Peace but not at Rest: Mother Cabrini | Kristen Theriault

Always Hope

Let’s talk about Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini!   In today’s episode, I welcome back Kristen Theriault, spokesperson for Sophia Institute Press, to discuss all things related to Mother Cabrini, including the new Cabrini movie by Angel Studies, and two books by Sophia: The World is Too Small: The Life and Times of Mother Cabrini and The Mother Cabrini Companion: A Spiritual Journey with a Courageous Woman of God.   We discuss the life of Mother Cabrini, what the movie got right and where it took creative liberties, and the critiques to the film. We also dive deep into Mother’s unwavering faith, her unprecedented apostolic activity, how she expanded her outreach to 67 missions all over the world, and how her active life flowed from her contemplative one. Kristen also shares anecdotes and prayers she learned from Mother Cabrini.   Have thoughts about this episode? Join the conversation on Instagram.   Please leave a rating and write a review!
