Begin observing the St. Francis of Assisi feast today with Triduum prayers just released by CIOFS.  Day 1 begins with this encouragement from St. Francis, “In that love which is God, I entreat all my friars, ministries and subjects, to put away every attachment, all care and solicitude, and serve, love, honour, and adore our Lord and God with a pure heart and mind; this is what He seeks above all else.”  The Feast of St. Francis of Assisi is Friday, Oct. 4.
