Mother Cabrini’s writings and spiritual life are rich with practices that blend prayer, Scripture, reflection, and silence, inviting us into a deeper union with Christ and strengthening us for missionary action.

These Spiritual Exercises present a selection of Mother Cabrini’s writings that nourished and sustained her own missionary life. In her letters, she frequently addressed the struggles and challenges faced by her Sisters, offering prayers, encouragement, and reflections intended to foster humility, perseverance, charity, and trust in God.

Drawing from these letters, the exercises pair Mother Cabrini’s wisdom with passages from Scripture and prayer, creating opportunities to pause, reflect, and encounter Christ in the midst of everyday life. Through her words, we are invited to find renewed strength, deeper faith, and the peace that comes from placing our lives and our work in the hands of God.
