As Francis drew nearer, the Sultan’s expression changed to one of mild amusement. Francis couldn’t help returning the expression.

Sometimes, we might feel a sort of separateness from God, as if God is far away, up in heaven, or just not here in our world in our daily life.
The spirituality of St. Francis is not so much about the heroic deed as it is about the heroic love with which even the smallest deed is done.
Francis’s journey involved learning to love anew the things of creation, his love constantly being purified by the overarching love of God.
Francis not only repaired the little house of San Damiano, but the larger house where God dwells, Earth itself.
In a true fraternity the friars have learned to see their own brokenness, their jealousy, their desire for power. And they have learned to forgive that in themselves and in each other.
