Who Will Be Today's St. Francis And Rebuild God's Church, Which Is Falling Into Ruin?

The Portiuncula was the place where St. Francis founded the Order of Friars Minor by divine inspiration and it was Divine Providence which led him to repair three churches before he founded the Order and began to preach the Gospel. This meant that he progressed from material things to more spiritual achievements, from lesser to greater, in due order, and it gave a prophetic indication of what he would accomplish later (the repairing of the entire Roman Catholic Church.)
