Our love and suffering as Christian disciples, like the Lord’s on the cross, does not happen in vain.
Both Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi recognized the importance of what happened at the cross as a model for Christian life.
Those few friends and family members who stayed behind and perhaps risked their own lives for the sake of their friend and Lord have denied themselves to follow Jesus.
Paradise, or the kingdom, is also a reality that is not off in some distant future, but is, as Jesus says, here “with me today.”
After Francis’ death, Bonaventure will talk about the “transformative power of love.” Love is what moved the heart and mind of the saint from Assisi, and it is love that is the greatest force for change and good in our world.
