Sacramental theology on an October afternoon

Image: Nature in Your Own Back Yard

One of the deacons in my parish closed his homily on Sunday with this wonderful piece from St. Francis of Assisi:

I once spoke to my friend, an old squirrel, about the Sacraments -

he got so excited and ran into a hollow in his tree 

and came back holding some acorns, an owl feather 

and a ribbon he found.

And I just smiled and said, "Yes, dear, you understand

everything imparts His grace."
