The
feast of St. Francis of Assisi on Oct. 4 brings to a close the Season
of Creation for 2017. What will we take away from this new church
season, supported by Pope Francis, that began Sept. 1 with the World Day of Prayer for Creation?

Before
the Feast of St. Francis, the Italian diocese encompassing Assisi is
cutting financial ties with fossil fuels, joining more than three dozen
Catholic groups in marking the patron saint of ecology and "Laudato
Si'."

Column on Global Sisters Report:
If the four Franciscan values were friends sitting around in a circle,
contemplation is the quiet one, poverty is the talker, minority is the
one providing refreshments, and conversion is the eternal optimist.

From the NCR archives:
A few years ago, when I was speaking in Italy, I had the great
opportunity to go to Assisi and visit the small church that St. Francis
built.
