Another reason why I chose St. Francis is because my brother’s name is Francis. I enjoy reading books, and Francis was the patron of Catholic writers. I can live like my saint by always choosing God. De Sales’s parents wanted him to become involved in politics. He chose to trust God. I can also live like my saint

For as long as I can remember, my parents, brother, and I woke up extremely early every Sunday morning to attend the 8am mass at Saint Francis Parish. During my formative years, I was diligent about going to church, but it was not just my parents ‘forcing’ me to regularly attend. I enjoyed going and looked forward to the experience each week. Until I made my confirmation during my sophomore year in high school, my brother and I were active in the youth ministry, attending weekly meetings for the

Once he woke up, he threw all of that away to live a life of poverty, living and preaching the gospels in his life. He helped, rebuilt, and cured in a time of need. St. Francis of Assisi perfectly

On this pilgrimage he saw St. Peters tomb and spent the rest of the day fasting with the beggars at the door of the basilica. Then on the road back home to Assisi he apparently heard the voice of God say “Francis, repair my church.” Francis took this completely literally and sold his father’s horse and repaired the church he was kneeling at, San Damiano.
