St Francis Clothed Himself in Christ

A young man called Francis, before the town of Assisi, threw off his clothes, renounced riches and the paternity of his earthly father and entrusted himself to his Bishop, to whom he presented himself naked.

Nowadays, sorrowfully, it is Bishops who are naked, and men and women, young and old, who must remind them to clothe themselves in Christ.

Enjoy the Feast of St Francis of Assisi.
