F. A. Forbes (16 March 1869 – 1936) was the nom de plume of Mother Frances Alice Monica Forbes, RSCJ, a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart from Scotland and a religious author.

She was born in 1869 as Alice Forbes into a Presbyterian family. Her mother died when she was a child. In 1900 she became a Roman Catholic. Only a few months later, she entered the Society of the Sacred Heart, as a 31-year-old postulant.

She wrote numerous books, including brief biographies of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Saint John Bosco, Saint Teresa of Ávila, Saint Columba, Saint Monica, Saint Athanasius, Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Benedict, Saint Hugh of Lincoln, Saint Vincent de Paul, and, most famously, Pope Saint Pius X. She died in 1936.

Quotes by F.A. Forbes (?)

“He was a living example of the truth that a man may be large-minded and yet strong; that he may hate error, yet love the erring—stand like a rock against heresy, yet be full of compassion for heretics.”
― F.A. Forbes, Saint Athanasius The Father of Orthodoxy

“Oración para que las madres recen por sus hijos Mi Señor Padre eterno, Fuente de todo consuelo, Te ruego por los hijos Que me has regalado. Tú que ya pensaste en ellos Antes de la creación del mundo Y que les quieres mucho más que yo, Bendícelos siempre, Envía a tus ángeles Para que sus pies no tropiecen Y no les dejes caer en la tentación. Mi Señor Jesucristo, Que quisiste nacer en una familia, Por tu bendita Madre, Que tanto sufrió al verte en la Cruz, Apiádate de mis lágrimas Y concede a mis hijos La fe que vale más que el oro Y la vida eterna. Mi Señor Espíritu Santo, Sé para ellos Brisa suave que alivie sus penas, Fuego que arda en sus corazones Y Maestro que les enseñe a orar, Para que nunca se desvíen Del camino que lleva al cielo Y un día podamos sentarnos juntos En el banquete del Reino Que dura para siempre. Amén.”
― F.A. Forbes, 5 vidas de santos inolvidables
