Editor’s Note: This week, the staff has selected one of Father Tom’s bulletin columns to repeat. This column ap-peared in a 2016 bulletin. Enjoy!

Peace and good! Francis was a great promoter of the real pres-ence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

The Franciscan scholar, Father Enzo Fortunato, OFM Conv., was asked three questions during an interview focusing on Francis’ embrace of the Eucharist. The three questions ad-dressed to Father Enzo were:

• What was the meaning of the Eucharist for St. Francis? • What do the "Admonitions" say about the Eucharist? • Francis' most famous writing is perhaps the Canticle of

the Creatures. How is this Eucharistic vision of life pre-sent in that composition?

This week we will reflect upon the insights he shared regard-ing the third question:

Francis' most famous writing is perhaps the Canticle of the Creatures. How is this Eucharistic vision of life present in that composition?

The Eucharist is the source of that thanksgiving that Francis gives vent to in the Canticle of the Creatures, as element of praise of existence.

In the canticle is perceived all God's goodness for man. Animate and inanimate nature is a gift of the Lord, and Francis matures his first gratitude before the Eucharist. (Zenit, 2005)

Francis of Assisi begins his Canticle of Creatures with the following words: Most High, all-powerful, good Lord, all praise is yours,

all glory, all honor, and all blessing. To you, alone, Most High, do they belong. No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.

As we continue to reflect upon the Eucharist in our lives, let us reach out to our sisters and brothers in need. Let us also look for opportunities to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. I invite you to join us on Wednesday evenings (7:00 – 9:00 pm) for Eucharistic Adoration and for First Friday Mass (7:30 pm) which is followed by Eucharistic Adoration from 8:15 pm to 7:45 am on First Saturday. In the peace of Francis of Assisi,

Reference:

Zenit. (2005, July 22). Take tough decisions to Christ in the Eucharist. Rome: Zenit.
