Saints Day

"Traditional Catholic Church"

Today the traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of, Saint Francis of Assisi, Confessor. He is known as the Seraphic Saint, Saint Francis was born at Assisi, Italy, in 1182. Saint Francis in his youth loved pleasure and fine clothes. He then renounced all his wealth and became the most extraordinary Saint of the Middle Ages. He founded the Order of Friars Minor, the Second Order of the Poor Clares, and the Tertiaries or Third Order of Saint Francis. He was chosen by God to be a living manifestation to the world of Christ’s poor and suffering life on earth, he was early inspired with a high esteem and burning love of poverty and humiliation. The thought of the Man of Sorrows, Who had not where to lay His head, filled him with holy envy of the poor, and constrained him to renounce the wealth and worldly station which he abhorred. The scorn and hard usage which he met with from his father and townsmen when he appeared among them in the garb of poverty were delightful to him. "Now,” he exclaimed, “I can say truly, ‘Our Father Who art in heaven.” But divine love burned in him too mightily not to kindle like desires in other hearts. Many joined themselves to him, and were constituted by Pope innocent III into a religious Order, which spread rapidly throughout Christendom. St. Francis, after visiting the East in the vain quest of martyrdom, spent his life like his Divine Master now in preaching to the multitudes, now amid desert solitudes in fasting and contemplation. During one of those retreats he received on his hands, feet, and side, the five bleeding wounds of Jesus. Our Lord Jesus favored him with the Stigmata. He faithfully pasted away in the year 1226.
Reflection: “My God and my all," Saint Francis, in His, constant prayers, explains both his poverty and his wealth.
