"My brothers, I want to send you all to Paradise!"

Sources narrate that one night in the year 1216, St Francis is immersed in prayer at the Portiuncula, when suddenly a very bright light floods into the little church and he sees above the altar Christ and his Blessed Mother, surrounded by a multitude of Angels.

Entrust us with the prayer that resides in your heart and we friars, from this holy place that is the Porziuncola, will entrust it to God through the intercession of the Virgin Mary and we will burn it in the hearth that is lit in the square of the Basilica to raise it to heaven, on the vigil of the Assumption on 14 August.

Create your own digital Forgiveness holy card personalised with your name, a sign of the prayer and blessing of God and Saint Francis for you and your loved ones.

Fill in the form now and create a digital “Santino” personalised with your name or that of a person dear to you, to give as a gift or use as wallpaper on your mobile phone.
