WE SAW BROTHER FRANCIS by Francis de Beer "De Beer does not aim to examine the saint's life from testimonies written once that life on earth had been concluded; rather he inquires how those who knew Francis first hand encountered him while he was still alive. He attempts to discover how Francis' contemporaries experienced him close up. How did they criticize him? How did they imagine him?
