SACRED HEART CHURCH, LA PLATA

ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI Deacon, Religious Founder (Circa 1181-1226)

Francis of Assisi was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant in Italy. As a teenag-er, Francis sold cloth in his father’s shop. He was very good at charming the

customers. At night he went to parties with the young nobles of the town. He

loved fine clothes and everything else that went with being rich. He wasn’t much of a student, but he loved the tales of King Arthur and his knights in ar-

mor. Francis wanted to be a knight himself. When the town of Assisi went to

war with Perugia, Francis joined the campaign. A year as a prisoner of war changed his outlook. When he came home he was ill for months. He was con-

fused because everything that had given him joy now seemed empty. Francis

spent hours praying for guidance in San Damiano, an old, rundown chapel on the outskirts of town. One day, guidance was provided. “Repair my house,”

said the voice of Christ, “Which, as you can see, is falling into ruin.” He carried

bricks on his back to the chapel and began to repair its stonework. Only much later did Francis realize that the house that God was talking about was not the

small chapel but the entire church. The church of Francis’s day was wealthy

and powerful, and most people did not have the courage to take the words of the gospels literally. But Francis followed Charis’s example, He became the

“Powerello” — the “little poor one.” He owned only one tunic, a plain brown

robe with a rope for a belt, which was the garment worn by peasants when they labored in the fields. He worked with lepers, the most despised people of socie-

ty. He acted as a peacemaker between warring towns. Soon others began to

join Francis, earning their bread by working in the fields or by doing odd jobs. They preached not just to the rich but to the poor as well. And Francis invented

something called the Third Order, a way for people to live the religious life while continuing their ordinary work. Francis had an understanding of the unity

of all creation that was way ahead of its time. He addressed every created thing

as Brother or Sister and treated everything with reverence. He allowed the beauty of creation to fill him with joy. Francis became ill and died when he

way only about 45 years old. On his deathbed he composed the Canticle of the

Sun, a hymn of praise still sung to this day. Then he asked to be laid on Brother Earth naked so that he could welcome Sister Death as simply as possible. The

pope who canonized him two years later described him as “the most perfect

image of Christ.” His body rests in the basilica that was built at Assisi after his death. He is the patron saint of Italy, and in 1979 was also named the patron

saint of ecologists and all people who work to protect the environment.

Names will remain on the above prayer list for 60 days from the time

they are requested. At the end of that time, you may renew your request.

Dear Parishioners,

What a week! I want to thank all the volunteers that helped with

our Annual Chicken Dinner; which was a huge success. The Parish

Dinner could not have happened without those that set up, cooked,

cleaned, served, and cleaned up…Gloria, the woman who was

speaking this week at the Family Mission, said in all her years of

travelling to different parishes, she has never seen such a "well run

parish fundraiser." She was especially moved by how our parish

members of all different ages worked together so well. Thank you!

Also, I hope that many of you were touched by the Lord during

the Parish Mission. I sponsor these Missions and talks so that you

might experience the healing presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you to all that came out and prayed with and for the healing

and protection of your families.

Finally, this week we enter into the month of October. This

month is dedicated to two things: 1) The Rosary, and 2) Pro-Life

Awareness.

October 7 is the feast of the Holy Rosary. On this date, the Cath-

olic Navy overcame the Moslem Navy in a famous battle called Le-

panto.

At dawn on October 7, at the entrance to the Gulf of Patras, the

Christian and Moslem fleets finally came face to face for the battle

of Lepanto. If the Moslems had won, Christian Europe would have

been crushed.

The wind and all military factors favored the Muslims, but

Spanish Admiral Don John of Austria was confident. He boarded a

fast ship for a final review of his fleet. He shouted encouraging

words to the men and they shouted back. After Don John returned

to his own position, the wind mysteriously changed to the ad-

vantage of the Christian fleet. First-hand witnesses wrote about

this moment as a most dramatic turn-of-events resulting from an

"unknown factor."

At that very moment, at dawn on October 7, 1571-- as Vatican

Archives later revealed--Pope Pius V, accompanied by many faith-

ful, was praying the Rosary in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggio-

re. From dawn to dusk the prayers continued in Rome as the

Christians and the Muslims battled at Lepanto. When it was all

over, the Moslems had been defeated. Of some 270 Moslem ships,

at least 200 were destroyed. The Turks also lost 30,000 men while

Christian casualties numbered between 4,000 and 5,000.

October 7 became the feast of the Holy Rosary because of this

miraculous victory.

This month pray the Rosary with your family as we approach this

decisive election in our country that a leader will be elected that will

protect families and marriage the way God designed it, and

begin to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves--

the unborn!

In Christ, Fr. Larry
