Francis of Assisi, venerated as Saint Francis of Assisi, also known in his ministry as Francesco, was an Italian Catholic friar, deacon, mystic, and preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women's Order of St. Clare, the Third Order of St. Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land.
On the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, we remember that he is the true spiritual founder. Franciscan friars we’re followers of St. Francis who took the vows of poverty, and so it goes.
"It is not fitting, when one is in God’s service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look." St. Francis, you lived out the joy of poverty by living in total dependence on God. May your life continue to be a testimony of a humble and sanctifying life! #SaintoftheDay
