ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI – ITALY – (1182 – 1226 – Born into a wealthy merchant family in Assisi, Francis Bernadone was a very popular youth in the community and loved it. The Lord called him while he was praying in San Damiano Church one day, asking him to rebuild his church. He began to put stone on stone in the process of rebuilding but the Lord corrected him to restore his people who have strayed from him. Francis was never a priest but as a brother, he started the Franciscans and shortly after, the Poor Clares for women. It remains universal and loved by people of all faiths. He carried the stigmata, the wounds of Christ. Patron of Ecologists and merchants.
