A collection of handmade zines on my table. Pens, scissors, glue and eraser also visible. Titles of zines include ‘Finding joy in small things’; ‘Be like St Francis and spread joy with small acts of kindness’; ‘A little book about St Francis of Assisi ‘.
I’m looking forward to some writing & zine-making this week with some Year 6s from a local primary school. We’re going to be finding out about St Francis of Assisi & his love for animals & the natural world, as well as his advocacy for peace & kindness. #zines #stfrancisofassisi #writerinschool

I attended a workshop on #SaintFrancis and #Buddhism and learned that he did not compose the famous prayer. His disciples wrote it after his death. #StFrancis #StFrancisOfAssisi #SaintFrancisOfAssisi #Prayer

“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle."
― St. Francis Of Assisi, The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi
Today's quote was used in the naming of our featured artwork, "Darkness Cannot Extinguish The Light" a 5x3" Mixed Media on Wood Panel from November 2025. This artwork was created to be part of "The Vigil" Exhibition being held by the Lancaster ART Network at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse. Over forty artists received the same 3x5" Panel to create an artwork of a candle in their own style and media. Our piece features hand-painted tissue papers and paper towels some of which were embellished with glitter and is available for sale at https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/darkness-cannot-extinguish-the-light
Artist's Statement / Backstory: I knew I wanted to create a mixed media / collage type of artwork on my panel so that my candle wax appeared to be dripping / running. When I picked up my panel at Zoetropolis I realized the area the exhibition would be held in would be lower lighting than a traditional gallery setting; so, I immediately began to ponder ways to make my piece flicker like a candle in that setting. Driving home it occurred to me that if I used glitter on some of the papers it may give my piece that spark [or sparkle if you will] of a burning candle. Moving the piece from brighter light to a lower light situation definitely changes this piece and we can't wait to see it installed!
To see our artwork and what everyone's created for the exhibition: Check out "The Vigil" during December 2025 [official opening as part of First Friday] at 112 N Water St, Lancaster, PA 17603!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreibdrvkdzn6s7eg5434f2keybvwlbtahymz2berfnarxk2viqfdce4)

On the left, a detail depicting Saint Clare from a fresco (c. 1320) by Simone Martini in the Lower Basilica of San Francesco, Assisi, shows her with a serene expression, wearing a light veil and habit against a dark background. On the right, black text text on a beige background reads: “Clare of Assisi: A model of courageous choice,” followed by Pope Leo’s reflection describing St. Clare as “a courageous and countercultural young woman” who made a decisive choice for the Gospel, highlighting her radical embrace of evangelical poverty and its revolutionary witness even within a Christian society. The image is framed by a thin red border at the top and bottom.
The Memorial of #StClareofAssisi is August 11. Yet today, on the Memorial of #StFrancisofAssisi, Pope Leo included #StFrancis’s spiritual sister in his homily.

St. Francis of Assisi stands against a dark background, his face partly hidden in shadow. He holds a small clay vessel close to his chest in a posture of humility and prayer. Overlaid white text reads: “Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming SELF. — Saint Francis of Assisi.”
“Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.”
Though there’s no record that #StFrancisofAssisi actually said these words, they beautifully reflect the heart of Franciscan spirituality.

Happy feast day of my favorite and patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi! 🩵
I love St. Francis; his love for all creation and how he desired to become a servant to all is an inspiration. He is a gentle guide for me, remembering to always give without asking.

I did manage to finish ONE commission at least. I get requests for this one, the Desiderata, and song lyrics a LOT, lol.
My script is unique and is also copyrighted as "Elvet Informal Fine" script. How does it look, @claudiewilson.bsky.social ? #StFrancisOfAssisi 🤗💜☮️
