2. Others came to join him, and they lived by a simple rule based on the Gospel. From them grew the Franciscan Order, which spread rapidly
3. during his own lifetime, though he ceased to be its leader and left its administration to others. His life was a putting into practice of the beatitudes, and was marked by faith, joy, service of others, prayer, and love of all created things. He died in 1226.
Ok It’s 4:17 - been trying to get back to sleep for an hour so I go downstairs to get a drink of water. Sitting at the kitchen table and a mouse just ran over my bare feet. Picture a huge silent EEEK!!!! cuz I can’t wake anybody. Now sitting immobile in a corner in the dark.
Weirdly, this also happened at the 7:30 A.M. Mass on Sunday. Is it me?
Either he just ran by again or there’s two of ‘em. Still in my chair.
