Like Mother Cabrini, we all face moments that test us — fear that holds us back, grief that overwhelms us, decisions that demand more wisdom or courage than we feel we have. Cabrini faced these same struggles throughout her life: crossing an ocean despite a fear of water, building hospitals and schools with no guarantee of success, grieving loss while continuing her mission, discerning God's will amid constant uncertainty. She met each of these obstacles through prayer, Scripture, reflection, and silence — and discovered there the peace and strength that only Christ can give.

This collection of Spiritual Exercises draws on that same well. Each one is rooted in a real challenge Cabrini faced and the prayer or practice that carried her through it — offered here so you can turn to them in your own moments of fear, grief, discernment, and courage. Mother Cabrini believed that every moment of prayer prepares us to become instruments of God's love in the world. May these exercises not only deepen your relationship with Christ, but also equip you, as they equipped her, to meet life's obstacles with faith.
