Summary
Join us as we discuss the 5th Commandment, You shall not kill, and our calling to not only protect the lives of others but offer mercy and love instead.
-
Monday: On the feast of the guardian angels, we recall that each human as a special dignity, created in God's own image, and we are simply stewards of our lives.
-
Tuesday: Explore the miracle of your own life, remembering how God breathed life into the first person and how our blood is sacred.
-
Wednesday: On the feast of St. Francis, recall that even unrighteous anger is a sin. We are called instead to reject human wisdom and be fools like Francis, pursuing peace.
-
Thursday: On the feast of St. Faustina, we are reminded that we not only need to get go of anger, we need to be like God and offer mercy, not hatred.
-
Friday: On the feast of St. Bruno, we are reminded that we are called to be the defenders of the weakest and smallest, working for just laws that recognize the dignity of all.

| 0:23.6 | Today is Wednesday, October 4th, 2020. |
| 0:27.3 | Today is also the feast day of one of the most famous saints that we have, St. Francis of Assisi. |
| 0:37.0 | St. Francis of Assisi lived at the end of the 1100s. He lived in |
| 0:42.5 | Assisi, Italy. And as a young man, he was kind of spoiled, really liked nice clothes, and only |
| 0:51.1 | wanted to go to battle to prove himself as a great hero. |
| 0:55.8 | However, God had other plans for him. |
| 0:59.3 | Francis went through a deep, deep conversion, |
| 1:03.2 | so much so that he gave up all of his worldly possessions, |
| 1:07.6 | even the clothes that he was wearing at the time, |
| 1:14.3 | renounced his family and went to go live as a poor person. In a vision, God directed him to rebuild his church. Francis thought that this |
| 1:21.3 | meant that he rebuilt the broken down church that he was praying in at that moment. And so he got to work doing that, but God had |

| 1:56.0 | And the order that he founded that Franciscans have had a tremendous impact on the church and on the world. |
| 2:02.3 | And they really did lead to a renewal, a reminder of our duty to serve the poor, to reach out to those who are forgotten, the weakest among us, |
| 2:13.8 | and to truly be examples of holiness and joy even amid suffering. |
| 2:20.2 | Toward the end of his life, St. Francis asked for st.ata, which is the mystical wounds of Jesus, |
