Utterly in love with Jesus Christ and living in poverty, Francis of
Assisi touched history. Christians, followers of other religions
and even those who declare they have no faith, find they have
something in common with him that stirs their sympathy. In 1209, as
a young man from the Umbrian region, he went to see the pope. He
sought permission to live exactly as Jesus Christ had done: poor
obedient, celibate. From a distance the pope saw Francis and his
eleven companions. But he had Francis sent away, banishing from his
presence the very man sent by providence who could have turned his
hopes for the Church into reality. Later, the pope recalled a dream
he'd had. He had seen the Lateran basilica leaning dangerously to
one side, when suddenly a little monk, looking like a beggar,
supported it with his shoulder and stopped it from collapsing. 'Of
course,' the pope understood, 'that monk was Francis of Assisi!'
How could he not listen to him? We today, can listen to him through
his writings, the stories and biographies that speak of him. It
would be like a new dawn, reversing the decline all around us into
a new future. The texts in this book can all be found in the Early
Documents series of the Franciscan movement published by New City
in three volumes plus a fourth volume containing the index for
these Early Documents.
