Slipping into non-relational thinking is natural and human, since we live in a busy world.

Grace is constantly inviting us to enter into an awareness of this flow of divine creativity.

Francis treated animals kindly because they pointed toward God. Do you allow the animal stories about Francis to point you toward God?

God led Francis in and through the depths of suffering to come to know Christ.

Our temptation is to admire saints from such a distance that we forget they were still human beings who cooperated with God’s grace.

Francis was as much subject to self-doubt as any of us. His motives were purified in prayer; his ego became right-sized there.
