Francis Embraces Sister Death
Francis and Leone left Mount La Verna, Francis’ final request was to be placed near the Porzuncula, the tiny chapel home of his brothers just below Assisi. He asked to be placed where he could see his beloved Assisi. Before he died, there was much sadness from his brothers. They were losing their father. Francis said, “There will be no weeping for this is a day of great joy and you must carry on with me in your heart. My day has come and I have been truly thankful for my journey. God has blessed me with my brothers. When I die, bring me to San Damiano, so Clare and her sisters can see me at peace. Pace e Bene to all of you, for there is no greater love than God and the blessings he provides. Remember we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Continue to pray for world peace. Pace e Bene.”
