St. Francis Countdown!!!

Just as an alarm clock abruptly jars a person out of bed, today I suddenly realized that the feast day of Holy Father Francis is only a little more than a week away. This means that I will need to start "counting down" until October 4th!!!

To kick off the St. Francis Countdown, I'm going to direct you to an excellent and entertaining account of the life of Holy Father Francis. The following excerpt is taken from the well-known "Lives of the Saints." Even though the passage has some archaic verbage, it's a very good overview of St. Francis. The passage can be found on EWTN's website here.

More Francis stuff to come!
