You’ve probably heard the name St. Francis of Assisi—the man who prayed atop Mount La Verna and received the stigmata. Well, during these 40 days, we’re following his footsteps. And helping us along the way? Two men who actually live his charism every day—Fr. Innocent and Fr. Angelus Montgomery.
@IMPERATORAUS The left includes everyone who thinks the government exists to serve the will of the people. The mainstream is a matter of how far left vs. slightly less left.
