Whimsical St.Francis of Assisi Religious Medal Bracelet

St. Francis of Assisi, lover of all creation, champion of justice, Patron Saint of animals and the environment, founded the Franciscan Order.

St. Francis of Assisi experienced all of God's creation as sacred. He saw God in "Brother Sun" and "Sister Moon." He preached to the birds and animals.

For a sick animal:

Heavenly Father,
you created all things for your glory
and made us stewards of this creature.
If it is your will, restore it to health and strength.
Blessed are you, Lord God,
and holy is your name for ever and ever.
Amen

I created this bracelet honoring St. Francis of Assisi and one of God's wonderful creations in a whimsical way. I love the painting of the cat and all the other whimsical beads that I found to create. Some of the charms and beads were given to me by a special lady to continue creating my jewelry. She is a blessing.

My first experience with St. Francis of Assisi was approx. 3 yrs. ago when my dog was diagnosed with cancer. I went to St. Xavier Mission, 20 minutes away from where I live in Tucson, this Mission is in the Tohono O'odham reservation. I feel so much peace and very spiritual divine presences, specially St. Francis, you see dogs inside the Church looking for shelter and I know St. Francis visits often.

My experience was after I visited the Mission, I had prayed to God to please help me heal my dog or just take him home. When I got home, one of my sons told me that there was a white light that resembled a man with a hood with his hands in praying walking behind me and went towards our dog, I was just amazed. I showed my son a St. Francis picture and stated it resembles the image he saw.

That night I had a dream that I went to this wonderful, very peaceful place and met St. Francis, he was with many other monks and people taking care of all kinds of animals, including birds. He told me to leave my dog on the table and that they will care for him and will bring it back to me when he was ready. The place was so wonderful, it looked like a monastery.

Next day, it was the most difficult decision I had to make, I had to let go of my dog and asked St. Francis to care for him.

Approx. 1 year later after that dream, I was getting ready to go to bed one night and I saw this tall man, very pleasant, which I believe was an angel, walking towards me and told me in a very soft voice that my "oso" my dog was ready to return. I just could not believe it and was overwhelmed.

Several months later I received a call from my sister-in-law screaming of excitement that her neighbor had given her a puppy and she stated that I would not believe it but looks exactly like the dog I had. I had chills all over my body to say the least and with all my excitement my kids and I drove to her house to see this puppy and to our surprise, he did look a lot like my dog and he acted like he knew us, just ran towards our car so excited and wanted to get in the car and as soon as I got out of the car, he was just licking my face so excited. Tears rolled down my eyes and I still have this wonderful dog and he did so many things my other dog did, things we had taught him or how he used to cuddle under my feet when I was watching tv.

I thank God and St. Francis for taking care of my dog. Before this experience I didn't believe dogs can come back from heaven after they passed, but this experience made me a believer. He was so special for me, specially because he was my joy when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I had to care for her at home, this dog kept me in good spirits.

St. Frances Cabrini Relic Religious Necklace

Filled with a deep trust in God and endowed with a wonderful administrative ability, this remarkable woman soon founded schools, hospitals, and orphanages in this strange land and saw them flourish in the aid of Italian immigrants and children. At the time of her death, at Chicago, Illinois on December 22, 1917, her institute numbered houses in England, France, Spain, the United States, and South America. In 1946, she became the first American citizen to be canonized when she was elevated to sainthood by Pope Pius XII. St. Frances is the patroness of immigrants.

I created this necklace with a very unique vintage relic medal of St. Frances Cabrini. I also added a vintage piece of a broken bracelet depicting Stations of the Cross on reverse of roses, vintage glass pearls and crystals.

I wanted to make it simple, unique but at the same time meaningful and bold.

St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi, lover of all creation, champion of justice, Patron Saint of animals and the environment, founded the Franciscan Order.
St. Francis of Assisi experienced all of God's creation as sacred. He saw God in "Brother Sun" and "Sister Moon." He preached to the birds and animals.
Father Francis and his companions were making a trip through the Spoleto Valley near the town of Bevagna. Suddenly, Francis spotted a great number of birds of all varieties. There were doves, crows and all sorts of birds. Swept up in the moment, Francis left his friends in the road and ran after the birds, who patiently waited for him. He greeted them in his usual way, expecting them to scurry off into the air as he spoke. But they moved not.
Filled with awe, he asked them if they would stay awhile and listen to the Word of God. He said to them: “My brother and sister birds, you should praise your Creator and always love him: He gave you feathers for clothes, wings to fly and all other things that you need. It is God who made you noble among all creatures, making your home in thin, pure air. Without sowing or reaping, you receive God’s guidance and protection.”
At this the birds began to spread their wings, stretch their necks and gaze at Francis, rejoicing and praising God in a wonderful way according to their nature. Francis then walked right through the middle of them, turned around and came back, touching their heads and bodies with his tunic.
Then he gave them his blessing, making the sign of the cross over them. At that they flew off and Francis, rejoicing and giving thanks to God, went on his way.

I created this bracelet making honor to St. Francis of Assisi surrounding his relic with all kinds of porcelain and gemstone animals, including, birds, dogs, cats and others. This bracelet has a whimsical look to it but created with same respect and honor to St. Francis.
