Today we celebrate the Feast of St Francis of Assisi. Francis was a man of God, a man of prayer and a man of peace. Enflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, he longed for us to live harmoniously as brothers and sisters in Christ. His vision remains not alone the remedy for a trouble heart but also for a troubled World. St Francis patron of peace, ecology and animals: Pray for us.
