St. Francis of Assisi Comments

This website was very helpful. I recommend it to anyone researching for a history project, or even anyone who just wants to know some facts, out of curiosity. It provides many interesting/helpful facts (depending what you need information for, but no matter what, this website gives good info). This website is perfect for learning about saint Francis of Assisi.

What was saint Francis's Religos order?
Can someone tell me
I like this site!
wow fraincis really touches me.. wat a man .. wat a saint
this is a brilliant website for homework
Saint Francis's story was very inspiring and the article was very helpful. He is the saint I am choosing for my confirmation name. While I may not be quite so willing to give everything I own (I'm too modest to preach half naked in the winter), I do think what he did was amazing!
this website was reallt helpful. i used it for my school reaport
I totally disagree with Molly about St. Francis being God. He was very holy, but nowhere near as holy or as righteous as God himself. We are talking about two totally different people here!!!
St Francis was a simple man with a big love of God and his creation.
We can only find peace through simplicity and a love of God.
Once we internalise this love we can proceed to see externally the beauty all around us.
I see this daily in my dog's big brown eyes!!!!
I like st.franciss main saying "LORD WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO " then he is one of the youth leader at a time and he become very famous saint according to Roman catolic the famous saint and the founder of frnchiscan capuchin order!!!!
