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.

Publisher's Summary
The “Canticle of the Creatures” is the great love song of St. Francis of Assisi. It is a beautiful aria, a poem, and a hymn of thanksgiving that praises God and reveals St. Francis’s profound relationship with God and all of God’s creatures. It is a swan song in the tradition of the troubadours before him that puts lyrics to a life of love. This book attempts to break open the personal implications of the “Canticle of the Creatures” for Franciscans today.
Like St. Francis, we are all immersed in creating our own canticles, whether or not we ever sing or compose them in words. Every life well lived is a love song, and we hope that this book makes that real, especially for anyone who chooses to follow St. Francis and St. Clare.
