Saint Francis of Assisi

A life in search of peace

Saint Francis speaks to birds

(Italian)

I chose to have Saint Francis of Assisi in these pages because I think he REALISED PEACE. Everybody knows about his life and that he strove for peace in the true sense given to us by Christ. A life in poverty but with commitment and Holy Communion's i.e. the realest sense of Christian feeling. I think, in other words, that Francis maintained the way of Peter and Paul's first Christian followers. In fact they got rid of their belongings dispensing the revenue among brethren.

This means to follow, day by day, Jesus's peace teachings. He offered these lessons for us to make sure our self of eternal life. If is true that Peter and Paul were full of Holy Spirit (demonstrated by their style of life) and Francis received the Holy Wound because of his life style, it means we need to be near these models and so be nearer to realizing God's model.

Francis Equation

Teaching = Peace = Communion = Life of all days

Ordinary Provocation

	What sense can peace assume today?
	What do you mean about a christian life centred on profit and a career where a man's centre of attentions is to HAVE everything (generally in disadvantage of another one)?
	And ... can a "Christian" politician adorn himself with this adjective if he feels "that a poor is just a poor and will be always a poor" and is necessary "to think about the public interest (this means usual noted friends)" or, as well as go on, "they think just to maintain their position"?
	Why aren't all Christian's communities just one voice and just one "body"? Aren't they "people's opium" or themself representative?
	What do earth's powerbrokes think?
	What priority have they for themselves?
	What are their values?
	What do they think about our presence on earth?Are they really convinced that is the economic growth of few privileged in disadvantage of much other people?

Theorem: Each of us have what he deserves.

Corollary: We have made something really bad!

But don't worry and sleep serene as it is certainly is not your problem! In Italy we say:

"It is always the fish’s head that smells" so it's a fisherman's problem!
