Saint Francesca did nothing by half-measures.
Being Roman, she lived life with a kind of reckless enthusiasm. Not for the usual things Romans get excited over, but for holiness! Her life was extraordinary in some ways. She went in for fasting, austerities, and almsgiving in a huge way.
The devil bothered her continually!
Not as he bothers most of us with boring, nagging temptations...
but with spectacular assaults.
Francesca was in the same league as Saint Anthony of Egypt, and the Curé d’Ars...
