Assisi here we come

Today we made the two hour drive to Assisi.  It was a glorious and sunny day which picked up our spirits.  We discovered again the simplicity and power of St. Francis and St. Clare.  Even in the midst of the big churches and magnificent artwork, we found two examples of faith filled lives and genuine searching for God's ways.  It seemed to draw me back to the calling of these Lenten days--keep praying and searching and God will reveal a path.   This first picture is of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi.  

The second picture is of the Church of St. Clare (This is for you Clare Braswell as you prepare for first communion).

Finally I add a prayer for all of us today.  Frances prayed before this image of Christ and it moved him powerfully.  Here is the simple prayer we were given to pray there.
