The much loved Saint Francis of Assisi discarded the trappings of wealth and found Christ in the simple life.Through daily meditations, Scripture readings, and action-based spiritual exercises written for the Advent and Christmas season, we are each invited to examine our spiritual life, to listen to the wisdom of Saint Francis, and to follow in the footsteps of Christ.
As Francis admonishes, let me not only recount the lives ot he saints, but also seek to imitate their courageous example. (Prayer for Christmas, Day 2.)
St Francis of Assisi calls us to embrace a life of radical Christian discipleship. For Francis, to live the life of a disciple of Christ meant that one had to embrace the poverty and humility of Christ as made manifest in Christ's own birth. This Advent and Christmas, let Saint Francis guide you in finding the great expression of God's overflowing love for each one of us through reflection and prayer.
