Welcome, Holy Father Francis!

Post by Denise » Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:23 am

Like Francis of Assisi, our Holy Father is calling us back to the great saint who “rebuilt Christ’s Church” by living a life of sheer simplicity and charity.
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

You'd hard pressed to find a greater example of simplicity, humility and charity than St. Francis. Certainly a model for our troubled world.
