St. Francis
October 17-21, 2022: In this image from a holy card I purchased in Germany, St. Francis, dressed in his humble garb, holds a sweet lamb in his arms, both of them surrounded by a patch of dry, prickly brambles. The good monk protects the lamb from this harsh environment and keeps it warm.
This image reminds you, this week, to be gentle and loving to yourself, to your dreams and ideas. It alludes to the harshness of much of what we see arising in our nation and world. It bids us be protectors and preservers of all that is good and endangered, just as St. Francis shields the lamb with his own vulnerable body.
It's a reminder, too, that there is still much worth protecting and upholding--both within us and outside in our often-difficult surroundings. Meditate on that which continues to hold value for you. What remains precious? How can you play your part in creating safety and amplifying goodness?
