Blessing of the Animals

St Francis of Assisi lived from 1181 to 1226 in Italy and is known as the patron saint of animals, the environment, Italy, merchants and stowaways. Francis was born into the privileged life of a nobleman, but eventually worldly desires no longer satisfied him. He wanted a simpler life with his love for poverty, nature and simplicity. Eventually, he founded the religious order of Franciscans, whose brothers preached the Gospel, made poverty holy, and worked hard to bring the word of God to a world that desperately needed it. He is known as the first person to receive the stigmata.
