Saint Frances of Rome

Frances was happily married, and balanced her works of charity with caring for her three children. When the plague struck Rome in the 1420s, she and other Roman women formed a society to care for the poor and the plague victims. Frances received many heavenly visions, and often saw her guardian angel, who would light her way as she read or traveled the streets of Rome doing works of charity. For that reason, Frances is a patron saint of travelers and motorists!
