THE WITNESS OF FRANCIS OF ASSISI Dear friends, Francis was a great saint and a joyful man. His simplicity, his humility, his faith, his love of Christ, his kindness to every man and woman made him happy in every situation. In fact, between sanctity and joy there subsists a profound and indissoluble relation… Looking at St. Francis’ witness, we understand that this is the secret of true happiness: to become saints, close to God! – Pope Benedict XVI
FORMAT SWITCH Based on feedback regarding how the formatting appears for previous newsletters in your e-mail, we are moving to Vertical Response. Please “pardon our dust” as we renovate our efforts.
