Frances was born to parents who were both wealthy and deeply religious. Her parents had her married at a very young age. She always longed to give her life to God. In her own way she began visiting sick people. She developed remarkable powers of healing and the fame of these spread all over Rome where she lived. Through her the Oblates of Mary were found. She was canonized in 1608

Today is her feast day and we ask her blessings on us. Amen
