Description

St. Francis of Assisi was the founder of the Franciscan orders of the Friars Minor (Ordo Fratrum Minorum), the women’s Order of St. Clare (the Poor Clares), and the lay Third Order.

He was also a leader of the movement of evangelical poverty in the early 13th century. His evangelical zeal, consecration to poverty, charity, and personal charisma drew thousands of followers. Francis’s devotion to the human Jesus and his desire to follow Jesus’ example reflected and reinforced important developments in medieval spirituality. T

he Poverello (“Poor Little Man”) is one of the most venerated religious figures in Roman Catholic history, and he and St. Catherine of Siena are the patron saints of Italy. In 1979 Pope John Paul II recognized him as the patron saint of ecology.  But much more than this, Francis was referred to as the Seraphic Saint because he was “on fire” with love for God…Who created all…without Whom there would be no Creation.

Born in 1181/82, at Assisi, Duchy of Spoleto [Italy] .

Died October 3, 1226, Assisi;

Canonized July 16, 1228;
