Saints of the Day
'Tis the Memorial of Saint Francis of Assisi, O.F.M., Deacon (1181-1226, A.K.A. Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone), founder of the perpetually feuding & dividing Franciscans, composed (in part) of the Order of Friars Minor (formerly Observant), the Order of Friars Minor Conventual, & the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin; the Poor Clares, formally the Order of Saint Clare; the Secular Franciscan Order, historically the Third Order of Saint Francis; & the Custody of the Holy Land; there are even, improbably & hypocritically, Franciscan Protestants.

'Tis the Wednesday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time (Tempus per annum, "time through the year"): Wikipedia-link.
