Here’s a St. Francis of Assisi Celebration Toolkit: celebrate GOoD times. Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity offer ideas that are simply perfect for anyone desiring to be a follower of Jesus Christ. (After all that’s what Francis wanted to do with all his heart!) Start first by taking a moment to feel the joy of being loved by a loving, all good, Holy God…and seeing God’s goodness in every moment and in all of creation.
In this Year of Faith and in this month celebrating St. Francis, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity offer a free music download St. Francis by Gretchen Peters. Yes, this song is actually titled with this poor man of Assisi’s name! Challenging us always to preach the Gospel at all times, his spirituality remains vital in today’s reality. Click here to listen and download. Please comment on how the song speaks to you. Leave your own ‘fingerprint’ on our site that will make a difference to all those who visit after you!
Open yourself further to the Gospel of Jesus with St. Francis, St. Clare, and the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity!

To complete a day of celebration, consider saying this prayer of blessing from the first woman follower of St. Francis for those you care about:
May the Lord be with you always and wherever you are, may you be with Him always!
