Why does Saint Frances Cabrini portray a sense of miracle and help the Christian community?
In the YouTube video, “Who is St. Frances Cabrini and why is she replacing Columbus”, the narrator discusses how Cabrini became the first Saint in America to be recognized and how she replaced Columbus as an icon.
The newscaster describes how she is better than Columbus when it came to spreading Christianity (even though it was centuries later) because Cabrini did not pick sides, she did what was best for people.
Columbus on the other hand wiped out tribes and groups that did not convert to Christianity and destroyed the since of “miracle” that was first originally placed on him. With this, he has lost his reputation of being a hero.
So with that said, why does Saint Frances Cabrini portray a sense of miracle and help the Christian community? What makes her so important to the overall cosmology of the Christian community?

How do miracles affect Catholics’ relationship with God and how do their relics relate to miraculous events?
Miracles are prominent aspects of almost every religion. As the Catholic Church has developed, miracles have become even more significant to their faith. In the video titled The Canonization of St. Frances Cabrini In Catholicism, miracles play an especially important role. When a miracle occurs, it is proof that the Saint is in heaven with God. Two miracles must occur for beatification, as well, which is displayed through the miraculous events leading to St. Frances Cabrini’s beatification.
Additionally, people will pray to these Saints, hoping for God to bless them with a miracle. Relics have played an essential role in this process. In Arizona, a woman gained her eyesight back after touching relics and praying to God. One can see the connection between relics and miracles through this instance.

How do miracles affect Catholics’ relationship with God? What role do relics play in the Catholic Church and their perception of miracles?
