Dear friends,
Today is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi! I just wanted to give you a little summary of St. Francis' life. He gave up so much to follow Christ, and I think that he is an inspiration to all of us.
St. Francis was born in 1182. As the son of a rich merchant, in his younger days, he lived a very worldly life and fell into sin. He was then captured and taken as a prisoner in the battle of the Assisans and Perugians.
During his time in prison, he received a vision from Christ and was instantly changed. He converted and upon his release, he decided to give up all of his riches to follow Christ. In the year of 1220, he found a new order of brothers called the Friars Minor. The focus of this new order was humility. They wore rags and got their daily food by begging from strangers.
