Parable of the Two Criminals
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.
The love of Jesus Christ that leads to his willing embrace of the crucified earthly destiny that appeared before him is both a model for how we are called to love and a revelation of God’s self-offering of control out of love.
If love is the free surrender of one’s control, then suffering is the involuntary taking of that control away.
Evangelical joyfulness is simply another way to call the experience of living with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, love, and thanksgiving.
St. Francis knew that to see ourselves as we truly are is to look at ourselves with the eyes of God.
