She lived in a house down the hill from the Monastery where you are currently assigned. Her family called the Monastery and one of the Capuchin priests came down to anoint her, descending the concrete steps of the hill. My mother and her siblings still remember that when the priest walked into the house he was, of course, wearing his habit -- but he was also wearing his sandals despite the snow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-40923508088034231422009-05-06T09:24:00.000-04:002009-05-06T09:24:00.000-04:00Follow this link for my post on the Franciscan Cro...<A HREF="http://friarminor.blogspot.com/2007/01/franciscan-crown.html" REL="nofollow">Follow this link for my post on the Franciscan Crown!</A>Brother Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780326836452864455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-49221840427109628202009-05-06T08:32:00.000-04:002009-05-06T08:32:00.000-04:00for the uninitiated, could you explain the Francis...for the uninitiated, could you explain the Franciscan crown?Paul A.
