April 18, 2021 - 3rd Sunday of Easter “The Cross of St. Francis” One day in the opening years of the 13th century, a young man named Francesco Bernadone, son of a wealthy merchant, entered the tiny deteriorating church of San Damiano, a mile from the town of Assisi in Italy. The young man had all the advantages a prosperous family could offer, but uneasy, he searched for something more. Only one noticeable object was left in the unused church, a large life-sized cross hanging above the dark, dusty altar, its figure of Christ strangely alive, with great powerful eyes that looked everywhere. As Francis knelt in prayer, the eyes of Jesus fixed on him. The lips moved and spoke: “Francis, go and rebuild my church which, as you see, is falling into ruin. The words resounding in his soul, Francis of Assisi began restoring the old church building and some other neglected churches nearby. But soon he realized the voice was calling him to something more. He was to take into his hands, not bricks and stones, but human beings. Francis was to rebuild the Church of God, bringing his neighbors the simple joy of the gospel of Christ and making them “living stones” standing beautiful before God and the world. All his life afterwards, St. Francis followed that message he heard from the cross: “Rebuild my church.” Anyone approaching the cross will hear the same mes- sage: love those whom Jesus loves, looking on all as your Acts of the Apostles 3:13-15, 17-19 brothers and sisters. Devotion to the cross of Christ gives 1 John 2:1-5a you a loving heart to help rebuild the lives of others. Luke 24:35-48
