WEEKLY REFLECTION
Francis, the Friend of Nature
10-06-2024 | Fr. Augustine Acheme, VCSt. Francis of Assisi, also known as Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, was born in either 1181 or 1182 and is considered one of the most cherished saints in the Christian tradition. Francis grew up in a wealthy household in Assisi, Italy, and enjoyed a lavish, carefree lifestyle during his early years. Nevertheless, his time in battle, captivity, and sickness, along with a spiritual revelation, caused him to give up his material belongings and commit fully to a life of destitution and worship of God. He established the Franciscan Order in 1209, promoting simplicity, humility, and concern for the marginalized.
