Wednesday 26th Week of Ordinary Time

 

Feast of St. Francis of Assisi



St Francis started off like most people.
He was popular
Liked to hang around with his friends.
Was Middle class
And wanted glory and fame.

And then one day
He knelt in front of a cross
Which spoke to him and said,
“Go repair my Church, which is falling into ruin.”
And his life was never the same.

The cross changes everything!
The way we see life and the world.
What we thought was so important becomes trivial.
And death is not the end
But the door to a new life.

Do we dare to kneel in front of a cross
And wait for the Lord to speak to us?
