IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF FRANCIS AND CLARE
Fr. Roch Niemier, O.F.M.
The reflections in the book speak profoundly to the armchair Pilgrim who may never be able to visit the sacred places of Francis and Clare. One book review states: "Any traveler to Italy would do well to read this book first to truly appreciate the Franciscan tradition of the Catholic faith. The armchair traveler will almost equally enjoy and learn about these wonderful places. The author has written the perfect tour guide to these holy sites in and around Assisi but also gives us the deep and meaningful message of these holy place." The text draws upon 35 years of experience of Fr. Roch. Fr. Roch Niemier, O.F.M., is past president of Franciscan Pilgrimage Programs, a position he held for nearly a quarter century. He was recently honored by the citizens of Assisi for bringing pilgrims form over fifty nations to tour the holy places of Francis and Clare. Quality paperback, St. Anthony Press, 207 pages. This is not just a tour book ~ this is a special gift to all that will never be able to travel to Assisi but dream of the history ~ Fr. Roch has gifted us with these two books that brings all Franciscans back to our roots in the understanding of our history, spiritual journey and mission. No matter what part of the Franciscan family we are a part of let us keep in mind that Francis called his followers jongleures de Dieu - "God's fools". No matter where we are we will do anything to bring joy to our Lord.
