What Are You Striving For?

I have no idea if St. Francis participated in more than one service on a Sunday, somehow I doubt it. This Sunday, St. Francis takes precedence, and yes, I know this is not abiding by our sacrosanct rubrics. But, traditionally, it is one of the most attended Sundays we have in the early fall, because, people love to bring their pets to church. And honestly, I have no problem admitting to the very real pressure I feel to get people to church. I strive.
