(For more info: Audrey Archer 450-699-1027) GETTING TO KNOW ST. FRANCIS: After Master Silvester had cheated St. Francis, in the evening when he recalled what he had done, he reproached himself for his greed, and pondered on the fervor of Master Bernard and the holiness of St. Francis. That night, and again the night afterward, and the night after that, he had a vision of a golden cross, proceeding from the mouth of Francis. Its top touched the sky and its arms seemed to reach the limits of the world. (To be continued.)
