"Francis, go and build up My house, which thou seest, is falling into ruin." To fulfill this command of Our Lord, St Francis of Assisi (1181–1226) began by restoring physical churches and continued by building up the spiritual Church in souls. Francis's humility, purity, and true joy inspired many to conversion and a deeper faith.
Never ordained a priest, St. Francis nonetheless was a preacher and a miracle-worker of the first order—curing, prophesying, casting out devils, turning water into wine, and raising people from the dead.
The Life of St. Francis of Assisi by St. Bonaventure conveys a picture of the Saint that renders an indelible impression of a man totally transformed by God.
