Devotional of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. Italian-American migrant and the first American citizen to be canonized, Saint Frances is the patron of immigrants and impossible causes. I find it apt that the first American saint represents the ideal of her country as being a nation of immigrants.

Radical doesn't mean that you have to be negative toward something that other people are trying to celebrate and make into a positive.

I think radical does mean taking seriously US America's biblical role. I truly believe that reading the bible americanly rather than America biblically is our gravest error. I think it's great that US America's first saint is an Italian immigrant because they weren't thought well of but I also think we need to take what America is seriously. Why are there people fleeing their homes? Where are the people who lived here before? What is US America? These are questions to take seriously.
