[Monday, May 26} – Assisi city of peace!
.
Today was a time to reflect upon Saint Claire, Blessed Carlo Acutis, and Saint Francis of Assisi. The pilgrims visited the Basilica of San Francis where our guide was a friar who encouraged us to reflect on what really matter in our life, and where we set our hearts, because that’s going to be our treasure.
