Saint Francis and Holy Week

Saint Francis and Holy Week

St. Francis experienced intensely the physical humanity of Jesus, especially during the days of Holy Week when Christ becomes present in the Eucharist and dies on the Cross. Friar Jude Winkler talks about Greccio, the Stations of the Cross, the Stigmata, and Franciscan spirituality – “Francis even said our habit is shaped like a cross to remind us that we are supposed to carry the Cross every day.”
