Story
Franciscan Murray Bodo illuminates seven key teachings from St. Francis and tells us how these teachings are the foundation for Franciscan spirituality today. Beginning with the wonder of the incarnation, he moves through the paradox of evangelical poverty, living the Gospel, repairing God's house, making peace, the recognition that we are one with all of creation, and the joy and humble service of God. All of these teachings have their roots and destination in the love of God that surrounds all of creation and each individual person.

Story
Francis and Jesus is the story of how the poor and humble St. Francis of Assisi gave away all to gain all, sharing in God's kingdom on Earth. Francis' life exemplifies what it means to be a genuine disciple of Jesus, walking in Christ's footsteps to show how ultimate truth is lived in small, unique ways. Franciscan Father Murray Bodo takes us on the journey with Francis, as we see his pain, his suffering, his dying to self. On that difficult road we are reminded that death to self creates new life....

Critic Reviews
"In Nourishing Love, Murray Bodo has provided a literary banquet of foods for reflection, inspiration, and instruction. For all who seek to develop a deeper personal appreciation of Mary’s centrality in Catholic faith and spirituality, here is food for mind and heart. A variety of resources - teachings, reflections, poetry, traditional prayers - will serve those who preach and who direct spiritual exercises and retreats. Ensconced within the poetic meditations on Mary’s life are a number of 'teaching moments' in which Bodo offers clear summaries of complex theological traditions. His articulation of the theology of the Incarnation developed by John Duns Scotus is a gem. This book is the fruit of a lifetime of searching for the elusive but essential truth behind the words we pray when we address this woman of ancient Palestine with the words, 'Holy Mary, Mother of God.'" (Margaret Carney, OSF, retired president of St. Bonaventure University)
"In Nourishing Love, Fr. Murray Bodo draws readers into a series of captivating reflections and poetry about the Blessed Mother. This is a perfect book for those looking to expand their appreciation for the Franciscan spiritual tradition, as well as for those who desire to deepen their Marian devotion. Those already familiar with Fr. Murray’s creative writing style will recognize his distinctive poetic voice in each line, while those who have yet to encounter his wonderful work will find a welcome introduction to his inspired writing and spiritual guidance in this book." (Daniel P. Horan, OFM, Duns Scotus Chair of Spirituality, Catholic Theological Union and author of God Is Not Fair and Other Reasons for Gratitude)
