ROME (OSV News) \u2014 At the stroke of midnight Oct. 4, church bells tolled across the Italian hilltown of Assisi to mark the 800th anniversary of St. Francis\u2019 death.<\/p>\n

The Oct. 4 feast of the \u201cthe Little Poor Man of Assisi\u201d was the pinnacle event amid a yearlong jubilee celebration, which began with the historic exposition of his relics for public veneration.<\/p>\n

The feast day celebrations began on Oct. 3 with a night procession and a solemn commemoration of the \u201cTransitus\u201d (\u201cpassage\u201d), the traditional Franciscan prayer service in the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels marking St. Francis\u2019 transition into eternal life. The basilica houses the chapel where St. Francis died on the night of Oct. 3, 1226.<\/p>\n

About 3,000 people took part in the procession on the eve of the beloved saint\u2019s feast day, singing hymns and voicing prayers as they retraced the route made by St. Francis\u2019 coffin in 1226, walking about 2 miles uphill though the Assisi from the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels to the Basilica of St. Francis where he is currently buried.<\/p>\n

The walk ended with a midnight Mass celebrated by Cardinal \u00c1ngel Fern\u00e1ndez Artime, the pontifical legate for the papal basilicas of Assisi.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the meaning of St. Francis\u2019 transitus, Cardinal Artime told the congregation, \u201cTo live well means learning, day after day, to die to ourselves so that we may belong ever more fully to Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe things we owned, our achievements, the image we projected of ourselves\u201d will not matter in the end, the cardinal said. \u201cLove will remain. Christ will remain. Francis dies poor, but he dies rich in the only wealth that never dies: the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following morning, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the president of the Italian bishops\u2019 conference, presided over a packed Mass in the basilica attended by Italy\u2019s President Sergio Mattarella. Assisi\u2019s Bishop Felice Accrocca and Cardinal Artime were among the Mass\u2019 concelebrants.<\/p>\n

In his homily, Cardinal Zuppi, who just returned from a diplomatic visit to Moscow, said that St. Francis continues to teach us to be peacemakers, bringing the gift of peace \u201cwherever there is violence, hatred and misunderstanding.\u201d
The way forward when \u201cwe are tempted and seduced by a vulgar, overbearing and deceptive culture of power,\u201d the archbishop of Bologna added, is to disarm \u201cour hands and our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the Mass, Italy\u2019s president addressed the crowd gathered in front of the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these times marked by senseless and cruel wars, by so much violence, manipulation and arrogance, as Leo XIV said a few days ago, our hope is that Francis\u2019 sun may illuminate the world, convert minds hardened by hatred, and point the way towards peace, hope and a serene, fraternal life together,\u201d Mattarella said.<\/p>\n

Brother Marco Moroni, the custos of the Sacred Convent, announced that, together with local authorities a proposal has been made to establish a children\u2019s hospice in the region as \u201ca lasting, tangible sign of the centenary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The celebrations concluded on the evening of Oct. 4 with solemn vespers and a procession led by Bishop Accrocca, who imparted a blessing of Italy and the world from the small dome of the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi using the Chartula relic of St. Francis. The Chartula is a small, fragile piece of parchment written on directly by St. Francis of Assisi in September 1224, two years before his death. The parchment contains the \u201cThe Praises of God\u201d on one side and \u201cThe Blessing for Brother Leo\u201d on the reverse.<\/p>\n

The Jubilee Year proclaimed by Pope Leo XIV celebrating the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi will continue until Jan. 10, 2027.<\/p>\n
