Saint Francis Quotes

• The vocation of being a 'protector' [. . .] means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us [. . .] In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts!

• There's something about Saint Francis's approach to life, zero expectations but pleasant surprise. In a lot of ways he was a really conflicted person. Some people would say he's masochistic . I don't really know, but I've always loved his reverence and his mindfulness.

• One of the greatest sermons ever pronounced on missionary work is this simple thought attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi: “Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words.” Opportunities to do so are all around us. Do not miss them by waiting too long on the road to Damascus.

• En cuanto al espíritu de pobreza, no recuerdo ningún momento en que no estuviera en mí, aunque sólo en esa infeliz pequeña medida compatible con mi imperfección. Me enamoré de San Francis of Assisi en cuanto supe de él. Siempre creí y esperé que un día el Destino me impondría la condición de vagabundo y mendigo que él abrazó libremente. En realidad, yo sentía lo mismo por la cárcel.

• There's love and there's romantic love. The Greeks had different words for different kinds of love. And we just got "love." I don't know what you would call the other kinds - maybe brotherly love, Christian love, the love of Saint Francis, love of everyone and everything. Then there's romantic love, which, by and large, is a pain in the ass, a kind of trauma.
