The group at St. Francis Basilica

We started our day with mass at the tomb of St. Francis.
From the opening prayer, "Father, you helped St. Francis to reflect the image of Christ through a life of poverty and humility. may we follow your Son by walking in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, and by imitating his joyful love."

Then Fr. Jim Doyle, a Conventual Fransican and friend of Friar Greg gave us an excellent tour of the basilica, followed by a walking tour through town with a local guide. Photos to follow- it's about time for us to leave for a wine tasting at a vineyard, followed by dinner in Spello!

Ciao!
