Description

Legends of Assisi’s saint and his earliest brothers, told as the Franciscans remembered them: miracles beside practical jokes, humility and Lady Poverty, compassion that startles the respectable. Fourteenth-century devotion in short hours — divine encounter, moral courage, joy that looks foolish — a classic of faith and service heard as simplicity with grace, not as formal biography.

Author

Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226) turned wealth into a legend of poverty and praise. Son of a merchant, he left comfort for an itinerant life of preaching, founded the Franciscan order, and wrote of sun, wind, and creatures as kin. The Canticle of the Creatures and the prayers in our catalogue keep that weather: holiness that looks at birds and beggars with the same courtesy.
