“Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes it’s built on catastrophe.”

10 COMMENTS ABOUT FRANCIS.
Today is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. I
checked out a few articles about him and picked out 10 comments to make about Francis.
You can do a lot of things in 44 years. Francis did. Check out his life in and around
1181 to 1226.
It’s 2023 – over 800 years
later - people are still
following his views, visions, vocation. Pope Francis for example chose his name
and example,
Take care of creation: the birds, the wolves – trees and
water – and all that surrounds you.
Christmas and Christ – Bethlehem and Calvary - the cross and cuts – all with Christ – at
hand - when they happen to you - can help.
Fear, shadows, death – don’t worry about them. There’s
always light and dawn
Don’t forget the poor. Cardinal Claudio Hummes told Jorge
Bergoglio that when he was chosen to be our pope. That’s why he took Francis
name.
Simplicity is a good way
to do life.
Repair my church – not the building.
Do all you can to preach the gospel – sometimes you might
have to use words.
Assisi: visit it – if you can – or at least read Francis
life – or visit it on line.
