Biography
St. Francis of Assisi abandoned wealth to embrace radical poverty and joy. He saw God in every creature, preached to birds, and bore the stigmata. His life calls you to simplicity, compassion for the marginalized, and finding the sacred in nature.
Prayer to St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith.
