St. Francis of Assisi

It's a gift to be simple.

About Me

I gave up the world to be Truly a part of it. So many followed me that I founded my own order of friars. We are poor as Christ was poor and we do great work throughout the world!

(About comments - Humanity posts what humanity posts. Jesus would not filter His world and nor shall I.)

My Interests

Living as Jesus lived. And finding the True Peace of Christ!

I'd like to meet:

Join the circle of Saints.
