St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. Our Little Flowers planted flower seeds to work on the virtue of industry. We talked about how St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was the first canonized American Saint. She was a Saint who worked very hard opening hospitals, schools and orphanages all around the world. The girls planted flower seeds and decorated their flower pots. The leader explained that the flowers would only grow if the girls took care of them, watered their plants and placed them in the sun. We tried to explain to the girls that the results would not happen over night but if their were industrious they would eventually see the fruits of the labor when their plants finally blossomed. Leah, Jodi, and Audrey did an excellent job choosing this activity for our St. Frances Xavier Cabrini project!
“St. Therese, you who are called the Little Flower, pray that I may always live as a good child of God. May I always do the little things of life extra well for the love of God. St. Therese, you love flowers and you wanted to give to Jesus the flowers of many, many souls. Now that you are in heaven, let fall upon earth a shower of roses by your prayers. Bring many more souls to Jesus. Pray to the Mother of God for us that she will smile on her children here on earth. Amen”
