1.  Francis heals man with leprosy

Francis began to care for a sore-covered leper with warm water mixed with herbs.

Everywhere Francis washed, the leprosy was cured. As the man watched, seeing his leprosy being washed away inch-by-inch, he began to weep.

The former leper ... began to profess how guilty he was of sin and how cruel he had been to those caring for him, acknowledging he deserved hell.

A married couple who lived in Pomarico, Italy dearly loved their daughter. One day their little girl suddenly died.

The mother collapsed with grief and begged for help from Saint Francis ... the Saint appeared and assured them their daughter will be fine.

Shortly after ... the little girl awoke to the wonder of those present, and stood up as if nothing had happened.

At Capua, a boy drowned in the Volturno River (south-central Italy) ... a man drew the boy to shore who was now dead.

Many began to invoke the intervention of Saint Francis.

The Friar did not disappoint them, the boy, in fact, got up as if nothing had happened ... to the joy and amazement of those present.

In the Castle of Gori, located in the diocese of Ostia, Italy ... a man was desperate because a tumor had caused the loss of the use of his leg.

He appealed to Saint Francis of Assisi ... and was not disappointed.

Francis appeared to him in company with another brother and with a ... Tau Cross touched the diseased part of the leg.

He quickly regained the use of the limb ... so perfectly healed he could walk freely.

One day Francis saw many birds in a field. He ran towards them and instead of flying away, they waited for him. He said to them: "May the Lord give you peace !  (My) Brothers the birds, you have much to praise your Creator (for) and to love him. He gave you wings. To you, space, sky and freedom."

The birds, in their own way, responded with joy. They stretched their necks, spread their wings, and looked at Francis with curiosity. Francis walked among them, touching them gently, and after blessing them, he let them fly away.

The Brothers one day surprised Brother Francis in prayer, arms crossed, levitating and radiating with a striking light.

Too weak to make a trip on foot, Francis went to Alverne on a donkey pulled by a peasant.

Halfway, the exhausted peasant exclaims: "I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of thirst."

With compassion, Francis descended from the donkey, knelt, prayed, and then said to the peasant: "Run to that rock. The Lord has just made a spring of living water come out of it." Indeed, the new water source was there.

Jean, a man from Lleida in Catalonia, was dying after being struck with a sword by a stranger.

Having great confidence in Saint Francis, John repeated his name, moaning in the midst of his sufferings.

And behold, a man stood before him, clothed as a younger brother, and said, "God saves you because you trusted me."

He approached the patient, took off the bandages, and touched his wounds. The wounds were healing. When the miraculous man asked his name, he replied, "I am Francis."

St. Francis was in the city of Agobio when a fierce wolf began terrorizing its inhabitants.

It wasn't just attacking animals, but people too, causing everyone to be scared. Because of this wolf, the townspeople were afraid to even leave the city.

Feeling sorry for the townspeople, St. Francis decided to face the wolf, even though everyone warned him not to. As he approached the wolf, it charged at him with an open mouth.

But St. Francis calmly made the sign of the cross and asked the wolf to come closer. Amazingly, the wolf closed its mouth, stopped running, and sat down peacefully at St. Francis' feet.

St. Francis spoke to the wolf, telling him he had done wrong by hurting God's creations and people. He offered to make a deal: if the wolf stopped harming anyone, the townspeople would provide food so the wolf wouldn't go hungry.

The wolf signaled its agreement by nodding. St. Francis wanted a promise from the wolf, so he asked the wolf to give him its paw as a sign of loyalty, and the wolf did.

With the wolf beside him, St. Francis then walked into the city to finalize the peace agreement. The townspeople were amazed, and word quickly spread about the miracle.

A paralyzed man named Peter lived in the city of Nardi. One day, he learned of the arrival of Francis to his city to preach.

Saint Francis went over to Peter and with a simple sign of the cross healed the paralytic.

A woman in the city of Nardi ... recovers her sight after Francis made the sign of the cross in front of her.

Woman with hands clenched so as not to use them, heard about the coming of Saint Francis to her city, and urged him to regain use of her hands.

Francis heard her prayer healed her.

Saint Francis had pity for a Friar hit by epilepsy ... he went to him and after having blessed him ... he healed him.

A house in Sessa Aurunca, Italy ... collapsed, killing a young woman who was inside, rescuers pulled her out of the rubble and placed her on a stretcher.

The woman's mother trusting in God and in the merits of Saint Francis began to pray ... the girl woke perfectly healthy.

In Ragusa, Italy ... a young man was working at a printing press ... a pile of wood was nearby which fell on him and killed him.

The father promptly rushed over and began to beseech Saint Francis to bring back his child.

The miracle was granted, the young man came to life perfectly healthy. Once again the Catholic Jesus Christ had heard the intercession of Saint Francis.

In the Gargano, Italy ... a man was trimming the branches of a vine with a hatchet ... wherein an eye injury was incurred.

The man appealed in faith to Saint Francis ... the Friar did not disappoint him.  His eye was instantly healed so perfectly that ... you could not see any sign of the injury.

One day, while Saint Francis spoke to the people gathered in the square in Aviano, a flock of swallows fluttering so strong as to prevent his voice from being heard.

Francis spoke to them in the following words: "My sisters the swallows, now it's my turn to speak, because you have already done enough, hear the word of God be silent and quiet, until the delivery is finished."

The flock quickly ... to the amazement of the crowd ... fell silent and remained so until the sermon was finished.

Those present were amazed by this sign and said, "Truly this man is a saint and a friend of the Most High."

There was an occasion ... when a new man joined the Friars.

When evening came, Francis lay on the ground and went to sleep with the intention of rising in the night to go up a nearby hill to pray. The young friar wanted to follow Francis when he prayed so he tied his cord to Francis’s cord and went to sleep next to him so he would awaken when Francis rose for prayer.

When Francis awoke, he saw the cords tied together and unfastened them before going out to pray. When the young friar later awoke and discovered Francis was gone, he got up and went searching for him up the hill.

When the young friar came near, he saw from a distance that Francis was praying, bathed in light, and was conversing with Christ Jesus Himself, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist, Saint John the Evangelist, and a whole host of angels.

One day a brother brought a rabbit who had been caught in a trap to Saint Francis.

The Saint advised the rabbit to be more alert in the future, then released the rabbit from the trap and set it on the ground to go its way. But the rabbit hopped back up onto Saint Francis' lap, desiring to be close to the Saint.

Saint Francis took the rabbit a few steps into the woods and set it down. But it followed Saint Francis back to his seat and hopped on his lap again !

Finally Saint Francis asked one of his fellow Friars to take the rabbit far into the woods and let it go.

On one occasion when a brother was suffering from seizures, Saint Francis prayed over him as a simple act of piety.

The illness departed, and the brother never again suffered from the malady.

A woman in Gubbio, Italy, long disabled with bad legs ... asked the friars to have Francis visit when next in the area.

Ever tender hearted, Francis stopped by and the woman took the opportunity to touch his habit and was cured.

The lying "Prayer of Saint Francis" ... cannot be traced back any further than 1912.

The "Prayer of Saint Francis" ... is not in any writings by Saint Francis.

This non-prayer was first published, in French, in a Catholic weekly newspaper in 1912.

It was then re-published on the front page of the Vatican newspaper in 1916 at the request of heretic "benedict-15". Heresies of anti-Pope "benedict-15" are listed on Section 20. As always, being an enemy of souls ... "benedict-15" took this opportunity to mis-represent the Catholic Faith and mis-represents a Catholic Saint.

The popularization of this fraud was aided by a ... French "Franciscan" (more than likely a heretic) in the 1920's and 1930's ... who printed this non-prayer in Holy card format ... with an image of Saint Francis on the other side.

- - - - - - - - - -

From the ... Litany prayer of Saint Francis ... we see the following ...

Saint Francis, who confounded the heretics, pray for us
Saint Francis, who converted the pagans, pray for us
Saint Francis, who defended the Faith, pray for us
Saint Francis, who reformed the erring, pray for us

Saint Francis worked to bring people out of the soul damning errors of their heresies ... and the errors of the un-baptized pagans, which send them to Hell.

- - - - - - - - - -

This non-prayer attributed to Saint Francis says >  "Make me a channel of your peace"

This is a lie ... Saint Francis put truth before "peace".

A line like this written by Saint Francis would be > "Make me a channel of your truth"

- - - - - - - - - -

This non-prayer attributed to Saint Francis says >  "Grant that I may never seek ... To be understood as to understand"

This is a lie ... Saint Francis put truth before "understanding" heretics and pagans in their fables.

Saint Francis would have written >  "Grant me the grace to give understanding to heretics and un-baptized pagans who are all headed for Hell"

- - - - - - - - - -

This non-prayer attributed to Saint Francis says >  "Grant that I may never seek ... To be loved as to love with all my soul"

Saint Francis would never have written this ... because "loving someone with all your soul" ... does not keep heretics, jews, muslims, etc. ... from never ending Hell ... which is where *all* of them are headed.

Saint Francis would have written >  "Grant that I may never seek ... to be loved more than telling people how to avoid never-ending Hell"

- - - - - - - - - -

This non-prayer attributed to Saint Francis says >  "It is in pardoning that we are pardoned"

Saint Francis would never have written such a thing ... because "pardoning" heretics, jews, muslims, etc. ... without telling them the truth of how to save their immortal souls ... would be contributing to their eternal damnation. Something that Saint Francis would never do.

Saint Francis would have written >  "Pardoning heretics and pagans, not telling them the truth, contributes to their damnation"
