COMPASSION
LIVING IN THE SPIRIT OF ST. FRANCIS
by Ilia Delio, OSF
Excellent for Fraternity or personal use - each chapter ends with Meditation and Reflections. An ideal gift item - for planting the first seeds of true Franciscan Joy. From the introduction; "The key to Francis' transformation into love, his secret of making wholes out of the scattered fragments of life, was compassion. He learned compassion as the art of healing broken hearts by collecting the tears of the forgotten, the frightened, and the lonely in his hands and holding the wounded as his kin. Francis entered the world of the stranger and made the stranger into a brother. He learned to love what was weak and fragile, and he learned o care for what the world discarded." WITH THIS BOOK AS YOUR GUIDE, YOU CAN DO SIMPLE THINGS EVERY DAY TO DISCOVER A MORE COMPASSIONATE, OPEN, FEARLESS, AND LOVING LIFE - JUST AS FRANCIS DID.
