Description:
Upper left:
The San Damiano Crucifix
Saint Francis prayed often before the Byzantine crucifix of Jesus in the abandoned chapel of San Damiano near Assisi. One day, Jesus spoke to Francis from the crucifix,
"Francis, go and rebuild my house, which is falling into ruins."
Startled, Francis began rebuilding the San Damiano chapel, selling his father's silks to finance the work.
In time, Francis came to realize that Our Lord Jesus was calling him to rebuild His Body, the Church.
Saint Francis gave up his inheritance and devoted his life entirely to God.

The Blessing of Saint Francis
The LORD bless you and keep you!
The LORD let his face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you!
The LORD look upon you kindly,
and give you peace!
