Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of Trudge Report. After we go around the horn we dive right into another prayer. This week it is the Prayer of St Francis, also referred to as “A Prayer for Peace.” Like last week's dive into the Serenity Prayer, this prayer has been a major part of all of our lives since our early recovery. It is a prayer that has layers and deeper meaning depending on where we are at in our spiritual journeys.The second half of the show is all about how deep each of our belief systems go when it comes to the paranormal and the supernatural. We each share a few experiences and certain things we may or may not fully believe in and buy into when it comes to some of the spooky stuff. Gregory lives some very real childhood experiences that are perfect for this time of year. We recap some of the Chris McKinnell episodes and how some of what he shared and his experiences have helped shape our own.The smallest good deed is better than the grandest of intentions.            -John Burroughs-Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, October 4, is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), a 13th-century Italian priest who renounced his worldly possessions to devote himself to Christ. He was the first person (recorded) to receive the stigmata (the five wounds of Christ) in 1224.Francis Bernardone was born and died in Assisi. He was the son of a wealthy merchant, received a good education, and initially followed the ways of the world with a lavish and irresponsible life.At the age of twenty, he went to war against Perugia, but was captured and imprisoned. During his imprisonment, he had a vision of Christ, which changed his life completely.In a dream, God told him, “Go and repair my church, which, as you can see, is in ruins.”He left all his possessions and embraced complete poverty, taking the Gospel as his rule of life.In 1220, he founded the Franciscan order, which, within ten years, numbered five thousand brothers.Out of humility, Francis never accepted the priesthood but remained a deacon all his life.He had a great love for God's creatures and referred to them as his brothers and sisters.His ardent love of God merited for him the name of Seraphic. He is also nicknamed "God's Fool" and "Il Poverello" (The Little Poor One).Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
