Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Seraphic Father.


Thank You, Lord, for calling me to become a third order Franciscan, by giving me this extra grace to follow You, through the example of the Seraphic Father, St. Francis, to heaven. Where would I be if it were not for the Catholic Church, Holy Mass, and the third order, (or my wife who is also in the order, she also helps to hold me together), I dare not think.

O God, through the merits
of our blessed Father Francis,
 You enriched Your Church with
new offspring; grant that by 
imitating him we may despise
the things of this world and
ever rejoice in the partaking
of Your heavenly gifts.
Through our Lord...
