ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER Saints celebrated on the 20th of November FRANCISCINA OF MESSINA, VIRGIN Against the opposition of her parents, Franciscina (Franciscetta), a virgin, entered the convent of St Clare at Messina in Sicily. Her love of evangelical poverty and mortification was truly inspiring: she refrained from ever wearing a new outfit, not once did she sleep in the bed allotted to her, she never sat at a table. Thus she sanctified herself through prayer and these and all other monastic virtues. Franciscina passed to her eternal reward in A.D. 1484. ( Hub. Men.)
