Autor

St. Francis of Assisi (1181/1182 – 1226), born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, was an Italian Catholic friar, deacon, and mystic who founded the Franciscan Order. Embracing a life of poverty and service, he is one of the most venerated religious figures in history. His radical embrace of evangelical poverty and nature has exerted a lasting influence on Christianity, with Pope Gregory IX canonizing him as a saint just two years after his death. His writings, including admonitions, canticles, and rules, have been compiled in 'The Complete Works of Saint Francis of Assisi', which remains a pivotal window into his spiritual life and teachings. St. Francis's literary style is marked by its simplicity, fervor, and poetic contemplation of creation. Notable for the 'Canticle of the Sun', Francis's works evoke a deep connection to God through nature, a hallmark of his spirituality. His embrace of creation led to his designation as the patron saint of ecology by Pope John Paul II in 1979. His commitment to peace, poverty, and charity continues to inspire a broad audience beyond the religious sphere. St. Francis's life and works reflect a unique blend of mysticism and practical action in the pursuit of living a life modeled after Jesus Christ.
