St. Leonie Aviat, founder of the Oblate Sisters of St. Francis de Sales, is a part of our Wreath V. She’s a favorite of mine (among many) as one of their schools is in my town. They are lovely sisters and a joy to see around town and at Church. In addition, my parish is administered by the Oblate Fathers, so today’s Daily Mass was a celebration of her life and words.
You might want to check out her wiki article (where I got this photo) or their website (where you will see a cornflower (!), the flower we chose for her virtue) –

She has any number of great quotes but a favorite:
“Do not be preoccupied with the future, God is in charge of it.”
So easy to remember and as quickly forgotten!
What is the significance of the cornflower and what does it represent to St. Leonie Aviat?
