When thinking about Saint Francis--especially on his feast day (October 4), it is easy to picture him being friendly and loving towards animals. Saint Francis had such a love of all of God's creation that he not only showed compassion for animals but he did God's work in helping people and rebuilding the Church. The following are some insights about how Saint Francis' love spilled over into the world.
“Hail, Holy Queen Enthroned Above, Oh Maria! Hail, Mother of mercy and of love, Oh Maria! Triumph, all ye Cherubim. Sing with us, ye Seraphim. Heaven and Earth resound the hymn: Salve, Salve, Salve Regina!" That song was a staple during the Month of May, and it is a great way to honor Mary on The Queenship of Mary Feast Day!
