Memorial of St. Francis of Assisi, 1181-1226; a poor little man who astounded and inspired the Church by taking the gospel literally, actually following all that Jesus said and did, joyrfully, without limit, and without a sense of self-importance; received the stigmata two years before his death, at age 44
