Lessons from Saint Francis of Assisi: The Wisdom of God's Beloved Servant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798357024381)

Saint Francis of Assisi is perhaps the most known and loved saint within the Catholic Church. Though many flock to him because of his portrayal as one who loved animals and nature, he became one of the greatest saints in the history of the world for one simple reason: he was a true servant of the Most High God.

The goal of this book, Lessons from Saint Francis of Assisi: The Wisdom of God's Beloved Servant is to offer various stories from Saint Francis's life in such a way that the reader can apply them to their own life. Saint Francis was unquestionably one of the greatest saints to ever live. The way he accomplished this greatness is worth studying and imitating.

As you read this book, know that it is best to read in a slow and prayerful way. It is best to take one lesson, reflection, and prayer at a time. Use the lesson for meditation and the reflection and prayer for personal application.

Though it is hard to imagine ourselves ever reaching the heights of sanctity achieved by Saint Francis, know that it is possible for us all. Saint Francis embraced the will of God with a radical abandonment and ongoing zeal. This resulted in him becoming one with Christ and doing great things for God and His Church in a very short period of time.

Saint Francis, as I begin to prayerfully ponder your life, please pray for me. Pray that my mind will be enlightened by Christ and that my will be inflamed with a burning desire to serve Him. May I learn from your example and benefit from your prayers. I entrust my reflection on the lessons of your life to your trustworthy intercession. Saint Francis, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
