Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Saint Francis and Poverty
For, as we shall see, Franciscan poverty stood for a whole world of human and Spiritual experience, for wide sympathies, and a large understanding of the realities of life. When the Saint uttered his soulful praises of his Lady Poverty, he was attribut ing to her the freedom of soul, the conscious ness of a nobler manhood, the intimacy with Nature, the quickened Spiritual perception, which came to him in his intercourse with her. She was, indeed, to him a wisdom of life, with whom all good things came.
