Francis of Assisi astounded and inspired the Church by taking the gospel literally—by actually following all that Jesus said and did, joyfully, without limit, and without a sense of self-importance. He truly believed what Jesus said: “Announce the kingdom! Possess no gold or silver or copper in your purses, no traveling bag, no sandals, no staff” (Luke 9:1-3).Saint Francis is the patron saint of animals, archaeologists, ecology, Italy, merchants, messengers, and metal workers. Saint Francis, pray for us.

The entire month of October is dedicated to the rosary. The main focus of the prayer is on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are invited to enter into these mysteries with Mary as our guide. Ultimately, the rosary is an encounter with our Lord and Savior. Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
