St. Michael’s Lent
An Ancient Church practice. Revived.
During his life, St. Francis of Assisi observed a 40-day, Lent-like period of prayer, asceticism, and fraternity in preparation for the Feast of St Michael the Archangel.
In fact, it was in 1224 during St. Michael’s Lent when Francis received the great grace of the Stigmata — the Five Wounds of Christ.
