St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is a family of the Eucharist formed in the spirit of the sacraments and Catholic teaching. Activities of spiritual formation are shared in worship, prayer, catechesis and charitable works. Through our patron, we live as instruments of God's peace.
From Rev. David on the Life of St. Francis of Assisi:
Francis had gone to the mountain of Alverno with a few of his friars, but while they were in a hut, he drew apart from them. It was then that he saw a seraph "with six shinning wings blazing with fire" bearing down from the highest part of the heavens. There appeared between his wings, the figure of a man crucified, with his hands and feet stretched out and fastened to the cross. The heart of Francis was filled with a great joy and a great sorrow at the sight of his beloved Lord crucified.Then a fear enveloped him like a cloak as the seraph struck him.He was conscious of piercing pain. When he looked down at his hands, he saw that they bore the imprint of nails, and his feet too bore the marks of the crucifixion. |
