Living the Wisdom of St. Francis

Francis kissed the earth and began to sing. Whenever he wanted to share his vision of a world transformed he sang out from the depths of his soul. He sang about all people and all creatures, especially those forgotten and neglected. His canticle began at the time of his conversion and continued to unfold throughout his life, resonating throughout the countryside of Assisi even after his death.

To hear Francis' song today reminds us that we are called to a new birth and to affirm the fullness of the divine in the world around us. Francis encourages us to live a dream here and now, to live in harmony with each other and all creation.

Through a series of short meditations, this book introduces readers to Francis' song and its profound implications for our lives. It will have great appeal to spiritual seekers of all faiths or none, anyone with an interest in St. Francis and persons looking for a simple, feel-good affirmation of the sacred in life.
