Liverpool to New York: On the 25th August

Welcome back, Catholic Pilgrims. It's been awhile since we've had a super short reading, so today, we get a bit of a break from a longer reading. As a reminder, this trip started on November 6th, 1899, but the date for today's reading is August 25th. The reason for this jump back in time is that Mother Cabrini is filling her daughters in on what she was doing before heading out from Liverpool. So, yesterday, we heard about how she took a retreat. Today, she's going to continue on with what she was doing after that.  Mother Cabrini gets to help do some preparation work for an upcoming pilgrimage to Lourdes that Monsignor Radini Tedeschi is taking. She doesn't get to go on the pilgrimage, but she is still helping out for just a bit.  Let's hear about this as we turn to page 215.
