October 24-Pope Francis went to visit the birthplace of St. Francis in Assisi on October 4. He spoke of what the life of St. Francis means to Christians. He said: " A Christian cannot coexist with the spirit of the world." The Pope asked: " What is the spirit that St. Francis received, experienced and lived which he passes on to us?" "It is the peace of Christ which is born of the greatest love of all, the love of the cross." Then Pope Francis drew attention to those who are suffering and are dying because of violence, terrorism and war, in the Holy Land, in Syria, throughout the Middle East and every where in the world. He reminded all of us not to be indifferent to the needs of the poor and suffering. We are to be brothers and sisters to those who suffer and leave our culture of comfort which makes us think only of ourselves.
Thanks Sisters!!!
