ChristinaTherese Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 He did, on Friday. They put a San Damiano cross on the steps going up to the... er... elevated platform at the front of the church, for the prayer service. Has anyone else had him show up randomly?
Selah Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yes xD Considering he's my patron saint, he likes to show up. A lot.
ChristinaTherese Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 Well, he was almost my confirmation saint, for what that's worth. It was him or St. Therese, and someone said I should choose one of the same gender as myself for whatever reason.
Luigi Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Last time I saw him, he was in that basilica in Assisi. We had the nicest Mass together.
Credo in Deum Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) St. Francis is awesome! Edited June 11, 2014 by Credo in Deum

Semi-related: when I was confirmed, I chose St. Francis, and mom chose St. Elizabeth of Hungary. During the confirmation where you are named, Father Steve got us mixed up, and he looked at me and said, "Elizabeth..." and his face went to "Craaaaaaappppp" and I was trying soooo hard not to laugh xD So technically, I guess, I have St. Elizabeth on board with me too :p
Credo in Deum Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah well I have an uncle named Francis, I was born on his feast day, and I have a relic of St. Francis. I WIN! :)
Perigrina Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I have a son-in-law named Frank (German equivalent of Francis) a daughter named Frances and I am a Secular Franciscan. I have a San Damiano cross next to me as I type. So there! Edited June 11, 2014 by Perigrina

cartermia Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 He pops up a lot! And so does St. Therese. They kind of scare me, but not really. Yeah know what I mean?
Eowyn Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 St Frances can be kind of a stalker, kind of like St Therese. In a very good way, of course.
Selah Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 The San Damiano cross showed up at a Greek Orthodox Church I attended. It was like he was saying "NOOOOO DON'TGO I WUB YOU also I have chocolate"
Selah Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 St Frances can be kind of a stalker, kind of like St Therese. In a very good way, of course. I don't know about him, but she and St. Bernadette are usually together. Pretty sure they're bff's or something in heaven. Because while I was learning about St. Bernadette, St. Therese came hopping along with her roses and stuff. Like mean girls. And I'm the new girl. "Get in loser, we're going to Mass"
cartermia Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Selah! You have it exactly right. Those two are always connected somehow. Roses for Our Lady of Lourdes?
