Francis And The San Damiano Cross
$14.99
Susan Saint Sing, a former resident of Assisi and follower of Francis, takes the reader on a journey to the place where Francis prayed before the San Damiano Cross. Not only does she recall her own personal journey to Assisi, she recounts the spiritual and physical transformation of Francis in his quest to “rebuild” the church – a quest that began in the small, broken-down church of San Damiano but was the catalyst for a much broader reconstruction.
These meditations not only detail and explain the images on the cross itself, but they explain the powerful message of the cross – transformation: “It speaks to us still, beckoning us to repair our lives, our relationships, our failings – honor of Him who gave his life there on the cross in order for us to become more in the fullness of his presence, to be instruments of peace.”

Listen To Your Blessed Mother

Yet her words are filled with significance and rich meaning that can easily be misunderstood or misinterpreted by untrained hearers.

Gary Zimak explores both the spoken and unspoken words that Mary is recorded to have said and acted upon in the gospel narratives. The Word of God reaps manifold fruits in those who hear. Are we able to listen and understand the words of Mary in Scripture with open hearts?
