Incidentally, the priest who celebrated Mass today at the local parish I visit off-campus looked very much to me like Richard Burton in the role of Thomas à Becket. I'll leave the rest to your imaginations.

The Feast of St. Francis of Assisi
Today marks the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron of animals and founder of the Order of Friars Minor. Interestingly, he was the first to create a Nativity crèche, using live animals to more readily encourage active devotion. It occurred to me at some point this morning that I've yet to read G. K. Chesterton's biography of St. Francis, and that I should probably amend that soon...
