Feast of St. Francis

I came across this quote yesterday when I was doing some research for my weekly article. It makes a good point about St. Francis that I hadn't considered before.

This Sunday [Oct. 3] is also Right to Life Sunday, and Monday, October 4th is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. I know that I am more than a little biased, but I find Francis to be the most passionate “right to life” saint that there ever was. He saw the world and all of its creatures as completely connected; we are all brothers and sisters-- every tree, every plant, every cat, every rat, every man and woman and child! What a great description of “right relationships!” If we could live Francis’ vision-- with Francis’ passion-- the world would be a much better place. - Father Ed. - http://www.catholicsoncall.org/considerthis/bible-call/4scripture-reflection-october-3-right-relationships
