Oct. 4. is the Feast of St.Francis of Assisi, in the Catholic church. He was a gentle, humble man who taught us to love our earth. St. Francis is best known in his role as patron saint of animals. Francis was also a poet. His "Canticle of the Sun" is also called "Brother Sun, Sister Moon." Many churches celebrate the feast of St. Francis with a blessing of pets. The blessing of the pets is one of my most cherished mom-Catholic convert. Here's more on that.
