THE TRANSITUS (DEATH) OF SAINT FRANCIS
Saint Francis died just after sunset on October 3. He recited Psalm 142 and, during the closing verse, he died. This event is solemnly recalled each year by Franciscans to honor their holy Father's entrance into joy.
May your day be blessed with peace, a hallmark of Franciscan Spirituality.
In our area there were services for the Blessing of Animals. This is a Franciscan tradition, right?
Thank you for honoring St. Francis,
Mother Nanhi & Father Leslie
