Happy feast of St. Francis!

Take a minute today and celebrate the goodness of God's creation (I, personally, am going to eat an apple that is AS BIG AS MY HEAD, no foolin' AND it's organically grown). Here is an excellent article on St. Francis' spiritual practices, because I think most people just know him as "that guy who talked to birds and stuff".

And spare a minute to pray for Bishop Alberto Ramento of the Philippine Independent Church, who was found murdered in his rectory yesterday. May light perpetual shine upon him. :votive:
