A Saint In Our Midst

In early June, we were blessed by the arrival of a statue of St Francis to our backyard. The birds, flowers, trees, grass, and crawling creatures all are welcoming his presence with open hearts. They all seem to resonate perfectly with Francis’ message of universal love and the unity of all living things. Apparently, it’s those pesky humans who might need to stop speaking, drop to their knees, sit at his feet, and listen deeply into silence of his song.
