The Feast of St. Francis
"The larks are friends of daylight and shun the shadows of twilight But on the eve that St. Francis passed from this world to Christ, just as twilight was descending, the larks rose up to the roof of his cell and began circling it with clamor of wingbeat and song. No one knew if they were singing with joy or sadness for their voices were filled with joyful tears and sad joy, as if they were orphaned children weeping and singing their father into heaven. The city guards who were keeping watch there were filled with wonder and they summoned others to witness the sight." --Celano, Treatise on the Miracles, 32
I believe we all have what is called a 6th sense, but only animals have remained open to it while very few of us humans have. As they say, if you don't use it you lose it. Some call it intuition. Whatever it is, be open to "knowing" things that God wants you to know, so that, like the larks, you will be available to His bidding.
