A Condition of Complete Simplicity offers a practical exploration
of three essential keynotes of Francisc an spirituality - humility,
love and joy - as they can be lived out in a world that is often
characterised by violence, greed and religious conflict. This is
our world, and it was also Francis' world - a furnace for forging
the radical values of those who cast off possessions, status,
security and everything that stood in their way of following
Christ. Franciscan wisdom, with its emphasis on the upside-down
values of the kingdom of God, has an urgent relevance for many of
the problems we encounter today. Francis' turning away from his
youthful ambitions inspires us to do battle with our false
priorities and find our true vocation. His acknowledging of all
creatures as his brothers and sisters challenges us to recognize
the image of the Creator in every individual. His infectious love
for all creation gives us cause for hope and rejoicing as we learn
to find and reflect Christ's presence throughout his world.
