Feast of St. Frances of Rome

 Today is the Feast of St. Frances of Rome.

What was St Frances of Rome known for?

Saint Frances of Rome, Italian Santa Francesca Romana, (born 1384, Rome [Italy]—died March 9, 1440, Rome; canonized 1608; feast day March 9), founder of the Oblate Congregation of Tor de' Specchi (Oblates of St. Frances of Rome), a community that, with the Olivetan Benedictines, works for the sick and the poor.

I am still trying to keep my Lenten resolutions. I find it really helpful to welcome each moment and I am saying often the words to the little song which I will share again here as I find it helpful.

Breathing in, breathing out.

I am calm, I am smiling,

You in me, I in You.

Present moment, wondrous moment.

Peace to the world, peace to the world.
