Today is also the feast of the dedication of the basilica of St. Francis in Assisi. Brother Elias began building it in 1228 right after Francis was canonized (Francis died in 1226). It took two years to build and was dedicated on this day in 1230.
It's really a lovely church. Take your virtual tour here.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
