As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I’m reflecting on the life of St. Francis. My middle name is Francis, I’ve been blessed to serve Saint Francis Parish for more than 20 years and I have made over 40 visits to Assisi where Francis lived in Italy.
Francis was an amazing person, embracing life with only one purpose, to point others to CHRIST. That is all of our purposes. One of the basic parts of our catechism says, our purpose is to KNOW, LOVE, and SERVE HIM!
In our daily walk, we must ask ourselves what are we doing to know, love, and serve HIM better? To know HIM means we study HIS WORD, TO PRAY and seek a relationship with HIM! To LOVE HIM means we spend time with HIM and LISTEN to HIM to SERVE HIM means we put the lives of others before our own! Saint Francis pray for us!
