Francis left a life of privilege, wealth, and adventure to follow God's call to serve others. After a failed career as a soldier and an unexpected encounter with Jesus, Francis found a new path to glory: he would become poor like Jesus and spend his life preaching the Gospel. His magnetic personality and radical holiness soon attracted friends and followers who were just as eager to leave everything and follow Christ. The Franciscan family of priests, brothers, sisters, and lay people was born.
Meet Saint Francis of Assisi: twelfth-century mystic, preacher, beggar, revolutionary, founder of the Franciscan family, and—above all—radical imitator of Christ..
