This October 4th marks the 800 anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi in 1226. In preparation for that day of grace, here is a collection of a few prayers written by the saint – and who better to compose prayers? – that may comprise a kind of novena.May the great saint of Umbria, so configured to Christ that he bore His very wounds, intercede for us, for the Church, for our families and for peace in this divided world. Amor vincit omnia.
