Feast of St. Francis of Assisi

The Vision Of Saint Francis Of Assisi by Lodovico Carracci



Prayer of St. Francis to obtain divine love.

I beseech Thee, O Lord, that the fiery and sweet strength of Thy love may absorb my soul from all things that are under heaven, that I may die for love of Thy love as Thou didst deign to die for love of my love.

St. Francis pray for us.

    What an interesting painting. It's like the artist puzzled over what to do with Our Lady's hands. I love it.

    I think she is worried about a bachelor holding her baby properly! And I do not think my good St. Francis wants to give Him back to her!

    And who might that be back yonder? Fascinating, mysterious figure doing what?
