Thought For Today – October – 07/10/2022
We have just celebrated the feast day of Saint Francis whose feast day falls every year on October 4th. He is one of those rare saints who has managed to capture the attention and admiration of the entire world. His life has inspired people of all ages and the appeal of this saint, cuts across national boundaries and religious differences.
He is most famous for his respect towards God, his simple life and his tender love and attention to all creation. Francis had little time for excess, waste and greed. He always stood up for the poor and downtrodden.
His love of animals has been well documented. He was the inspiration for the first crib at Christmas and we all know what a beautiful tradition that has become. We all know the difference a pet can make in peoples lives. So if you have a pet, we make sure they are special in honour of St Francis!
