"St. Frances of Rome was a noblewoman with an amazing story (highly recommend looking her up). Although she originally wanted to enter the convent, the Lord was calling her to be a wife and mother. One day when she was praying, her husband and sons kept needing her and called her away from prayer. Each time she returned, she found herself reading the same sentence! (can you relate?) The final time she returned to her prayer, the line had turned to gold: God was telling her that she was doing the right thing, serving her family.
When in the church, go up into the sanctuary (don't be shy) and you'll see stairs on either side going down to the crypt - go down the stairs, and you'll find St. Frances of Rome's skeleton under the high altar! It's amazing. "

"At the entrance, look right for a beautiful view! This is a serene gem located near the Roman Forum, blending early Christian and Baroque styles. Dedicated to the patron saint of motorists, the basilica houses relics of St. Francesca Romana and features beautiful 9th-century mosaics, as well as a statue of the saint herself."
