Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: Francis turns back from war, transformed inwardly.
The year is 1205. Francis is 23 years old. He enlists in the army of Walter III, Count of Brienne, and leaves Assisi with companions, amidst great panoply and fanfare. As the army moves south, he has a vision from God telling him to turn around and go home.

Last summer, I had similar issues. The #SerenityPrayer helped, after I had accepted my own powerlessness regarding several issues:
"Father, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other."*
