THE THREEFOLD WAY OF SAINT FRANCIS
..by Murray Bodo, O.F.M.
"St. Francis has lived inside of me for almost sixty years. He walks my inner landscape, barefoot, unkempt, his threadbare habit girded with a plain woolen cord, his cowl crushed from sleeping in the woods, a rock for a pillow. He is a knight-errant, a troubadour, a poor fool for the Poor Christ. Il Poverello, Francesco, the saint of Assisi" ... Fr. Murray Bodo calls us back to our spiritual roots as Franciscans in a gentle and thought provoking way - a wonderful book for your library or to pass along to a friend. "The Threefold Way of Saint Francis" demonstrates that, although Saint Francis never gave a treatise on spirituality, the very gestures of his life show a threefold way that is essentially one, single love of God: love of others, love of self and love of the natural world. The author helps readers to make this way practical for themselves by showing them how Francis prayed and then encouraging them to mirror his prayer path. The wonderful Franciscan themes of embracing, integrating and becoming aware are gently woven throughout to give breath of life anew into Francis's way." Published by Paulist Press, paperback, 42 pages.
