RE: Market Friday: The Prayer Ring
Hi Reheadpei, I am always surprised and happy to see the far reaching arms of St Francis of Assisi. I visited his mission monastery in San Francesco where I bought some wooden rosary beads. One of my long distance walks was from St Francis Monastery outside Florence to Assisi, it took us about 10 days of walking up and down mountains. The memories are still fresh even though we walked in 2015.
Yes, the spirit of St. Francis has touched many lives. How wonderful to have been to the Monastery and made a long pilgrimage to Assisi, Angie.
There is a pilgrimage walk from McAdam to this Shrine. It’s about 40 Km (25 miles) through heavily forested areas for they take the back roads.
The walk sounds lovely Redheadpei, so grounding to walk long distances. It was a very thoughtful gesture of yours to give the prayer ring to your sister's friend.
I had the unexpected urge to give her the ring and it seemed to brighten her day.
After I left the area to make the 6 hr car ride home, my sister said her friend mentioned the ring to her and was quite emotional about it.
St. Francis’s spirit works in mysterious ways we don’t often realize until later.
