Tonight, FST joined members of the Franciscan family around the world in commemorating the passing of St. Francis, known as the Transitus, in preparation for tomorrow’s Feast Day. This liturgy tenderly commemorates the final days and hours of Francis in this life, when he was tended to by his faithful followers, including friars and Lady (aka “Brother”) Jacopa. (Image of the Transitus is by the Chilean painter, Pedro Subercaseaux Errázuriz, OSB (1911-1920s).
