Panama to Buenos Aires: October 20th

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to another day at port near Peru with Mother Cabrini. You can kind of imagine the first 3/4 of today's reading a bit of a blog almost. Mother is describing what life at port in Peru in the late 1800s is like and it's a real snapshot in time for us. She even talks about seagull guano today, which I never would have thought a Saint would discuss.  In the last part of the reading, she talks about obedience. As I've said before, obedience is one of the dirtiest words in our culture. Too many only want to be obedient to themselves and that's a huge problem. As we can see when we look around.
