Panama to Buenos Aires: October 16th

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Thank you for joining me today.  Before we begin our reading, I think we need a bit of background. Mother Cabrini is at port in Guayaquil which is in Ecuador. She is going to mention that she doesn't want to go ashore because of the revolutions. What she is speaking about is the Liberal Revolution of 1895. The pro-Catholic, conservative president was assassinated and a liberal, anti-clerical man named Eloy Alfaro came into power.  So, I wanted you to be a bit more informed before we started. Let's go ahead now and open to page 152.
