Reflections on St Francis

John Michael Talbot's Reflections on St. Francis gives inquiring readers an accessible introduction to the Rule and Testament of St. Francis of Assisi. Here Francis is shown as both a saint and a reformer, in addition to his role as a founder. Drawing upon his own experience as the founding member of The Brothers and Sisters of Charity at Little Portion Hermitage, Talbot provides unique observations on how the life of St. Francis and the Franciscan tradition can be a source of inspiration for those in all stages of life. These meditations will allow readers to contemplate the ways in which prayer, community, and simplicity can be integrated into their own lives while drawing upon Talbot's distinct interpretation of Francis's work.
