After there were thousands in the Three Franciscan Orders, a person asked St. Francis, "Why did God choose you?" St. Francis in all humilty said that God looked around for the most unworthy person so that that person could have not any claim on the work that God was performing through him. Did I say Three Orders? Yes, we all know of the First Order is for the Priests and Brothers. The Second Order is for the Religious Nuns founded by St.Clare also prompted by the Spirit and through the guidance of St. Francis. However, when the laity came to St. Francis for help, he established The Third Order for them. It is now called the Secular Franciscan Order.

Please pray for the sick, infirm

If one recited before the
Blessed Sacrament once per day:
"One Our Father, One Hail Mary and One
Glory be for the Pope's intention
as well as the Nicene (as at the Mass) Creed"
it would merit a plenary indulgence.

Please remember how important a Plenary Indulgence is
just for going to Mass, Holy Communion, Confession, etc. that day
or week.
Please help the Poor Souls in Purgatory.
