Unluckily for him, the first
people he met on the road were a group of
dangerous thieves, who beat him badly.
Despite his wounds, Francis was elated.
From now on, he would live according to
the Bible.
Francis's Christ-like poverty was a radical
notion at the time. The Christian Church was
tremendously rich, much like the people
heading it, which concerned Francis and
many others, who felt that the Church's
long-held apostolic ideals had eroded.
Thusly,
Francis set out on a mission to restore Jesus
Christ's own, original values to the now-
decadent Church. With his incredible
charisma, thousands of followers were soon
drawn to him, listening to his sermons and
joining in his way of life; his followers
became known as Franciscan friars.
Continuously pushing himself in the quest
for spiritual perfection, Francis was soon
preaching in up to five villages per day,
teaching a new kind of emotional and
personal Christian religion that everyday
people could understand. He even went so
far as to preach to animals, which garnered
criticism and earned him the nickname
"God's fool." But Francis's message was
spread far and wide, and thousands of
people were captivated by what they heard.
In 1224, Francis reportedly received a vision
that left him with the stigmata of Christ—
marks resembling the wounds Jesus Christ
suffered when he was crucified, through his
hands, and the gaping lance wound in his
side—making Francis the first person to
receive the holy wounds of the stigmata.
(According to scripture, Francis's wounds
never left him for the rest of his life; some
believe that his wounds were actually
symptoms of leprosy, not proof of a miracle.)
Death and Legacy
As he approached his death, many predicted
that Francis was a saint in the making. When
his health began to decline more rapidly,
Francis went home. Knights were sent from
Assisi to guard him, and to make sure that
no one from neighbouring towns would
carry him off (the body of a saint was
viewed, at the time, as an extremely valuable
relic that would bring, among many things,
glory to the town where it rested).
Francis of Assisi died on October 3, 1226, at
the age of 44, in Assisi, Italy. Today, Francis
has had a lasting resonance, with millions of
followers across the globe. He was
canonized as a saint just two years after his
death, on July 16, 1228, by his former
protector, Pope Gregory IX. Today, St. Francis
of Assisi is the patron saint for ecologists—a
title honoring his boundless love for animals
and nature.
Religion / Re: A Thread For Catholics by cyphercypher: 9:19am On Oct 04, 2013
Also during this time, he
would later report, he began to receive
visions from God.
After the War
Finally, after a year of negotiations, Francis's
ransom was accepted and he was released
from prison in 1203. When he came back to
Assisi, however, Francis was a very different
man. Upon his return, he was dangerously
sick in both mind and body—a shell-
shocked casualty of war. He had fought and
lost in a bitter, bloody war, and was left with
mental and physical scars.
One day, as he would later report, whilst
riding on a horse in the local countryside,
Francis encountered a leper—regarded, at
the time, as the lowest of the low, an
untouchable. Previously, Francis would have
run from the leper, but on this occasion, his
behavior was very different. Viewing the
leper as a symbol of moral conscience—or
as Jesus incognito, according to some
religious scholars—he embraced and kissed
him, later describing the experience as a
feeling of sweetness in his mouth. After this
incident, Francis felt released from many of
his inhibitions. Suddenly, his earlier life of
wine, women and song had lost all of its
appeal.
Subsequently, Francis, now in his early 20s,
began turning his focus toward God.
Instead of working, he spent an ever-
increasing amount of time at a remote
mountain hideaway as well as in old, quiet
churches around Assisi, praying and looking
for answers. During this time, while praying
before an old Byzantine crucifix at the
church of San Damiano, Francis reportedly
heard the voice of Christ, who told him to
rebuild the Christian Church and to live a life
of extreme poverty. Thusly, Francis
abandoned his life of luxury and devoted his
life to Christianity. He began preaching
around Assisi and was soon joined by 12
loyal followers.
Some regarded Francis as a madman or a
fool, but others viewed him as one of the
greatest example of how to live the Christian
ideal since Jesus Christ himself. Whether he
was really touched by God, or simply a man
misinterpreting hallucinations brought on
by mental illness and/or poor health—
following his release from prison, he was
incredibly sleep-deprived and malnourished
—one thing is for certain: Francis of Assisi
quickly became well-known throughout the
Christian world.
Devotion to Christianity
After his epiphany at the church of San
Damiano, Francis experienced a defining
moment in his life. In order to raise money
to rebuild the Christian Church, he stole a
bolt of cloth and a horse from his father. His
father became furious upon learning of his
son's crimes, and subsequently dragged
Francis before the local bishop. The bishop
told Francis to return his father's money, to
which his reaction was extraordinary: He
stripped off his clothes and passed them,
along with the money, back to his father,
declaring that God was now the only father
he recognized; this event is credited as
Francis's final conversion, and there is no
indication that Francis and his father ever
spoke again thereafter.
The bishop gave Francis a rough tunic, and
dressed in these new humble clothes,
Francis left Assisi.

THe Life Of St. Francis
Synopsis
orn in Italy circa 1181, St. Francis of Assisi
was renown for drinking and partying in
his youth. After fighting in a battle between
Assisi and Perugia, Francis was captured
and imprisoned at ransom. He spent nearly a
year in prison—awaiting his father's
ransom—and, during this time, reportedly
began receiving visions from God. After his
release from prison, Francis reportedly
heard the voice of Christ, who told him to
repair the Christian Church and live a life of
poverty. Thusly,
he abandoned his life of luxury and devoted
his life to Christianity, and became known all
over the Christian world. Later in life, Francis
reportedly received a vision that left him
with the stigmata of Christ—marks
resembling the wounds Jesus Christ
suffered when he was crucified—making
Francis the first person to receive the holy
wounds of the stigmata. He was canonized
as a saint on July 16, 1228. Today, St. Francis
of Assisi has had a lasting resonance, with
millions of followers across the globe.
Early Life of Luxury
Born circa 1181 in Assisi, duchy of Spoleto,
Italy, St. Francis of Assisi, though revered
tosay, began his life as a confirmed sinner.
His father was a wealthy cloth merchant
who owned farmland around Assisi, and his
mother was a stunning Frenchwoman.
Francis wanted for nothing during his
youth; he was spoiled, indulging himself
with fine food, booze and women, and left
school at the age of 14. By this time, he had
become renown as a teenage tearaway who
frequently drank, partied and broke the city
curfew. He was also known for his charm
and for being dandy in his dress.
In these rustic surroundings, Francis of
Assisi learned the skills of archery, wrestling
and horsemanship. He was expected to
follow his father into the family textile
business, but was bored by the prospect of
life in the cloth trade. Instead of planning a
future as a merchant, he began
daydreaming of a future as a knight; knights
were Medieval action heroes, and if Francis
had any ambition, it was to be a war hero
like them. It wouldn't be long before the
opportunity for warfare beckoned.
In 1202, war broke between Assisi and
Perugia, and Francis eagerly took his place
with the cavalry. Little did he know at the
time, his experience with war wold change
him forever.
War and Imprisonment
Francis and the men of Assisi came under
heavy attack, and in the face of superior
numbers, they took flight. The whole
battlefield was soon covered with the
bodies of butchered, mutilated men,
screaming in agony. Most of the surviving
Assisi troops were immediately put to death.
Dressed like an aristocrat in expensive new
armour, Francis was quickly captured by
enemy soldiers, but, judging him worthy of
a decent ransom, decided to spare his life.
He and the other wealthy prisoners were
thusly taken as prisoners, led off to a dank
underground cell. Francis would spend
nearly a year in this miserable prison cell—
awaiting his father's ransom—during which
time he may well have contracted a serious
disease.
