Book Synopsis St. Francis of Assisi and Nature by : Roger D. Sorrell
Download or read book St. Francis of Assisi and Nature written by Roger D. Sorrell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines one aspect of the life and thought of Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan monastic order. Contemporary interest in Francis has focused on his attitude toward nature. Sorrell argues persuasively that Francis' ideas can only be properly understood in their thirteenth-century context. Through close analysis of Francis' writings, Sorrell shows that many of Francis' beliefs concerning the proper relation of man to the natural world have their antecedents in scripture and in the medieval monastic tradition. Other Franciscan ideas and practices, however, appear entirely original; his nature mysticism, his concept of familial relationships with created things, his extension of Christian almsgiving to creatures. Sorrell insists, however, that only by seeing Francis in terms of the Western traditions in which he arose can we appreciate the true originality of this extraordinary figure, and the relevance of his thought to modern environmental concerns.

Download or read book The Life and Legends of Saint Francis of Assisi written by St Francis of Assisi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alongside St. Ignatius, who founded the Jesuits, St. Francis of Assisi is widely regarded as one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic Church due to his work establishing religious Orders that have done an incalculable amount of good and service for societies. Like St. Ignatius, St. Francis also got his start as a soldier who experienced a vision that put him on a more divine path. St. Francis eventually became a pillar of the Church, both living in poverty to assist those in greatest need and in establishing the Franciscan Order, the Order of Poor Clares, an enclosed order for women, and the Third Order of Brothers and Sisters of Penance. Near the end of his life, he became the first person recorded in history to bear the stigmata, the Passion wounds that Christ suffered in crucifixion, which only added to his ultimate aura and legacy. "To say that the writings of St. Francis reflect his personality and his spirit is but another way of saying that they are at once formidably mystic and exquisitely human; that they combine great elevation of thought with much picturesqueness of expression. This twofold element, which found its development later on in the prose of mystics like St. Bonaventure and in the verse of poets like Jacopone da Todi, and which has ever been a marked characteristic of Franciscan ascetic literature, leads back to the writings of the Founder as to the humble upper waters of a mighty stream. St. Francis had the soul of an ascetic and the heart of a poet. His unbounded faith had an almost lyric sweetness about it; his deep sense of the spiritual is often clothed with the character of romance. This intimate union of the supernatural and the natural is nowhere more strikingly manifested than in the writings of St. Francis."

Download or read book Saint Francis of Assisi written by G. K. Chesterton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved and well-known saints in the Catholic church. In this biography, G. K. Chesterton relays the unique and inspirational life of the humble saint. Starting life as a wealthy young man full of life and spirit, Francis soon joined the war between Assisi and Perugia and returned, ill and downtrodden. He ended up joining the papal forces and after witnessing a poor man begging for alms his spirit was renewed and he was inspired to start a new life of humble poverty. Though not yet officially part of the Catholic papacy, Francis soon amassed a following in Assisi and traveled to Rome to get approval from Pope Innocent III to form what is known today as the Franciscan Order. The Order devotes themselves to living in poverty yet giving generously to the needy. Today, Saint Francis is the patron saint of animals and ecology, having showed his love for all of God’s creation early in his life. This new edition of the biography of Saint Francis will be an inspiration for all readers, secular and religious alike.

He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women's Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land.

Book Synopsis A Message from St. Francis by : Cheri Harris
Download or read book A Message from St. Francis written by Cheri Harris and published by . This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who am I really? What is this life truly about? These are the questions that are being asked more often each day because of the growing amount of unhappiness and dissatisfaction people are feeling in their lives. In this book, St. Francis, himself helps to clarify and answer these fundamental questions through channeler Cheri Harris. He chooses the most pressing issues we are facing today, both personally and socially, and examines and discusses each one. He shows us how our conditioning, upbringing and societal beliefs have influenced and distorted our thoughts and ideas. This deteriorating way of thinking has created negative patterns, destroyed our clarity on what is essential in our lives, and has caused us to strive for things that hurt rather than help us. St. Francis boldly and firmly asks us to deeply reflect upon and to question our motives and behavior, pushing us to move beyond our limitations and fears. From already having experienced a human body, knowing the feeling of despair, and now being able to see the bigger picture from the other side, St. Francis' wisdom transforms and leads us on the true path of peace, love and integrity. All people, no matter what one's nationality or faith, will connect to the heartfelt energy St. Francis transmits within the pages of this book and to the down-to-earth style of writing he uses to convey his messages.In 1980, Pope Paul the 2nd named St. Francis the Patron of Ecology and if he were still alive today, St. Francis would be considered an environmentalist. Because this book contains so many messages on nature, it will appeal to those concerned about the environment as well.A Message From St. Francis will have long-term appeal since it can be used as an inspirational daily guide, like the I Ching or Tarot cards. Simply close your eyes and open the book to a page that feels right; you will be guided to what your soul wants you to learn on that particular day. Readers will also turn to a specific message in the book to find the answer to a current pending problem.

Download or read book St Francis of Assisi written by G. K. Chesterton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Francis of Assisi is perhaps the most important of the non-apostle saints. He was born to wealth and privilege in Assisi, Italy in 1181. As a youth he dreamed of military glory and lived the decadent lifestyle one would expect from of a wealthy, young Italian man. In 1202 Francis went off to war and was subsequently captured and spent a year of hardship in Collestrada as a prisoner of war. In 1205 he set off to war again, but this time God sent him a vision and he returned home and took up a religion. What followed was a most remarkable life. St. Francis founded an order in the Catholic Church devoted to helping those in poverty. No other saint embodied the teaching of Christ in quite such an emblematic way. Here G. K. Chesterton gives us the definitive biography of this most amazing man.

Download or read book Francis of Assisi written by William R. Cook and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My task . . . is to rely as much as possible on both written and visual sources, although I obviously must consider the discoveries and insights of modern scholarship, in order to present Francis of Assisi as a major figure in the mystical tradition. This means I will not be much concerned with Francis as the founder of a religious order. I will not present a detailed biography, although the first chapter provides a general overview in order to make the more detailed discussions of his spirituality more intelligible. Rather than attempt to discuss all texts by and about Francis of a mystical nature, I shall instead focus on six elements of his life and spirituality--his conversion; his relationship to the created world; the creation of the Christmas crib at Greccio; the role of learning; the relationship between the active and contemplative life; and his stigmatization at LaVerna in 1224, two years before his death. I believe that a detailed discussion and analysis of these aspects of Francis's life will best introduce the reader to Francis of Assisi." --from the Introduction
