“The Vision of St. Francis” (detail) by Jusepe de Ribera
“What wonderful majesty! What stupendous condescension! O sublime humility! That the Lord of the whole universe, God and the Son of God, should humble Himself like this under the form of a little bread, for our salvation.” (St. Francis of Assisi, Deacon)
The Memorial of St. Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1286) is October 4.
