Today is World Humanitarian Aid Day. For us, the model in this sense is St Francesca Cabrini and in this regard we share an excerpt from the “Discourse on the heroic figure of Mother Cabrini in 1946” in which Pius XII wrote:

“Look at her: study the way she has taken to guide you down here and to lead you to follow her up there; it is the way of the Spirit of God. We beseech her to impart to you this same spirit, to teach you to draw it in ever greater abundance from the same source, the Heart of Jesus… We impart to you, beloved daughters, to all those who, persons and things, are under your direction, to your benefactors and to all those who give you help and support in all the good you do in the world, with special affection Our paternal Apostolic Blessing” (Pius XII, July 1946).
