God spoke to Saint Francis, "Go, Francis, and restore my Church."
Francis heard the words coming from the crucifix - which right away tells us something.
Francis was in a church and he was praying!
If we want God to speak to us than we also must spend that time in prayer.
Another word for prayer is "relationship" - we speak to God and God speaks to us.
As readily as we want God to listen to us - so we must give that same readiness to listening to God.
If we want God to answer our prayers - we must be ready as Saint Francis, to respond to God in the same manner.
