Editors Note: St. Francis, best known as St. Francis of Assisi, was a man who lived over 800 years ago and was the son of a wealthy merchant. From a life of luxury, he renounced worldly possessions and began his radical call to poverty and evangelism. This humble man was a lover of animals and nature and lived the simplest and most dedicated of lives.
