Product Description
Essential writings of Saint Francis of Assisi, in his own words, with background commentary. An essential aid to understanding the spirituality and character of St. Francis. Learn about his faith, Eucharistic emphasis, penance, humility, love of others.
Biographies of St. Francis will only take you so far. It’s impossible to truly understand him without reading his writings. Sweeney has compiled all of the ones that we are most certain come from Francis himself, including his first Rule of life, the Rule he wrote for the Third Order, letters to friends, letters to people in power, messages to all Franciscans, songs, praises, canticles, and his final spiritual Testament. An introduction and explanatory notes throughout the book help to put the writings into historical and theological context.
