His simple life was so radical, that with no intentions of beginning a religious order, within 10 years, St. Francis had 5,000 people following his example of simplicity and devotion to God!
His love for nature, his simple poverty, and deep trust and reliance on the Lord are great examples to us today. Francis was obedient to God and followed his call away from the glory of a soldier to eventually be the man to “Rebuild [God’s] Church!”
Put this sticker in a visible location and be reminded to be "a channel of God's peace" like the Prayer of St. Francis beautifully asks.
