St. Frances of Rome

I have had a difficult time choosing a saint for today, but I have finally settles on Frances of Rome.  She lived in the late 1300's to the early 1400's.  When she was young, she wanted to become a nun, but her parents married her off when she was only 12.  It was a happy marriage and, unlike other aristocratic women of her time, she raised her own children.  She was devoted to the poor and sick.  It was said that she could always see her guardian angel at her side and one dark night when she set out to perform a charitable errand, her angel walked before her shining a supernatural light so that she could see where she was going.  Her feast is March 9.
