Sign of Contradiction St Francis of Assisi (2019)

St Francis is one of the most loved saints in all the world but do we really know him Cities schools hospitals and churches around the globe are dedicated to him but why He can be found in gardens across the country but he must be more than just a birdbath Francis is known as a lover of peace and of nature and this is true But he also went against all social norms All that the world said would lead to happiness he abandoned for something else something more To the world he first appeared a fool He was an outsider hated and ridiculed by even the people who were supposed to love him the most Yet thousands followed him Why Francis was a sinner and a saint who was on a lifelong journey animated by grace He was a real person with real struggles temptations and doubts He was a disciple perhaps the greatest disciple When all the world saw him as a fool he stood as a sign of contradiction
