This cross
is a reproduction of the crucifix through which God spoke to Saint Francis of
Assisi in the year 1205, saying "Go, Francis, and repair my Church which, as you
see, is falling into ruin." At first Francis misunderstood and proceeded to
repair only the San Damiano Chapel, where this crucifix was located. Eventually
his acts of poverty, humility and charity brought about repairs to the entire
Catholic Church.
The new Pope is Francis. May we keep him in our prayers as he too repairs the Church.
