Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi
Address: Piazza Inferiore di S. Francesco, 2, 06081 Assisi PG, Italy
(96) January 13, 2019. A long way from home, but felt right at home worshiping in the “Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi “, Italy.
Unfortunately, taking pictures in the main part of the church is forbidden. And that was good, because it was then all about prayer. The paintings, carvings and seeing St. Francis’ tomb was mystical. My experience was being in communion with a Saint who loves animals, me too.
The Mass in English was held in a lower chapel below the main church. There was a small group of us, including my niece (Saige), who is traveling with me. It was an honor to say the Universal Prayers.
Thank you, Fr. Steven and Gwen for allowing me to read the beautiful petitions. And after inviting us for hospitality to meet the faith community of Assisi.
