EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless image of Saint Francis of Assisi, the beloved Catholic deacon and founder of the Order of Friars Minor, more commonly known as the Franciscans. Born Giovanni Francesco di Bernardone in Assisi, Italy in 1182, Saint Francis is most famously recognized as the patron saint of animals. Seated humbly in this image, Saint Francis is depicted with a serene expression and a halo encircling his head, signifying his sainthood. In one hand, he cradles a small cross, symbolizing his devotion and commitment to his faith. In the other hand, he tenderly holds a pigeon and a wren, emphasizing his deep connection with nature and God's creatures. Saint Francis is known for his profound love for all living beings and his dedication to living a simple, humble life. He renounced his wealth and material possessions, embracing poverty and preaching the gospel to the poor and the outcast. His teachings inspired the formation of the Franciscan Order, which continues to thrive today and is known for its commitment to serving the less fortunate. This historical photograph, with its striking contrast and intricate details, invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi and the profound impact he had on the world. His story continues to inspire us to live with compassion, humility, and a deep reverence for all of God's creation.
