Reflection

St. Francis of Assisi was asked one day as he was weeding in the garden, “What would you do if you knew the world was about to end?” St. Francis replied, “Continue weeding my garden of course.” The  implication was that Francis didn’t have to rush around like a headless chicken putting his house in order.  Francis was already living his life in a state of readiness, and he had no need to worry himself about the end of the world.
