by Theresa Cavicchio, OFSEach year, the October 4th feast of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182 - 1226 A.D.), is celebrated by Christians, non-Christians, and non-believers alike; not only in Franciscan circles but all over the world.

by Theresa CavicchioThe comprehensive Omnibus entitled St. Francis of Assisi: Writings and Early Biographies, published in 1973, is introduced with a statement which rings true still today, close to fifty years later: “There is something paradoxical about the fact that the Little Poor Man of Assisi, who sought only obscurity, should have become so widely known and universally loved as he is today.”
