ST. Francis is one saint whom both Catholic and non-Catholic have united in honoring. In action he was original, in speech picturesque and poetic, yet he was a man utterly inspired by faith in and devotion to the risen Christ.
Francis was born in the story hill-town of Assisi in Umbria, n the year 1181 or 1182. His father. Peter Bernadone, was a wealthy marchant his mother, pica, by some accounts was gently born and of provencal blood. Much of Bernadone’s trade was with France, and his son was born while he was absent in that country. Perhaps for this reason the child was called Francesco, “ the French man,” though his baptismal name was John. At the age of twenty during a petty was between the towns of Assisi and Perugia, he was taken a prisoner. During the year of captivity he remained cheerful and kept up the spirits of his companions. Soon after his release he suffered a long illness. This he bore with patience. After his recovery Francis joined the troop of a knight of Assisi who was riding south to fight under water de Brienne for the Pope against the Germans. Having equipped himself with sumptuous apparel and fine armor, he fared forth. On the way he met a knight shabbily clad, and was so touched with compassion that he exchanged clothes with him.
