THE LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI [ST. BONAVENTURE]"Francis, go and build up My house, which thou seest, is falling into ruin." To fulfill this command of Our Lord, St Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) began by restoring physical churches and continued by building up the spiritual Church in souls. Francis' humility, purity, and true joy inspired many to conversion and a deeper faith. Never ordained a priest, St. Francis nonetheless was a preacher and a miracle-worker of the first order - curing, prophesying, casting out devils, turning water into wine, and raising people from the dead. The Life of St Francis of Assisi by St. Bonaventure conveys a picture of the Saint that renders an indelible impression of a man totally transformed by God. St. Thomas of Aquinas found St. Bonaventure in ecstasy while writing the life of Saint Francis. The Angelic Doctor said, while retiring quietly, “Let us leave a Saint in peace, to write of a Saint!” Price: $15.00 Learn More | Purchase |

ST FRANCIS PRAYER BOOKThis warm-hearted little book is a window into the soul of St. Francis, one of the most passionate and inspiring followers of Jesus. "Prayer was to Francis as play is to a child: natural, easy, creative, and joyful," author Jon Sweeney (Almost Catholic, Cloister Talks) tells us. "Before it became common to speak in personal terms of a relationship with God, Francis did so and made it seem natural." With this guide, readers will: Pray the words that Francis taught his spiritual brothers and sisters to pray; explore Francis' time and place and feel the joy and earnestness of the first Franciscans; and experience how it is possible to live a contemplative and active life, at the same time.
