Description
Francis, “The Little Poor Man” of Assisi, and Clare, “The Clear One,” the woman who lived out his vision with heroic simplicity, together shaped the spirituality of early thirteenth-century Europe. Both were born to noble families and exhibited sensitivity to those less fortunate, even in their youth. Both ultimately rejected their families’ wealth and founded religious orders known for humility, generosity, and devout faith, gathering communities of like-minded persons to live out a radical commitment to the Gospel message of poverty. In the process they left a legacy that has captured the imagination of both believer and non-believer through the ages. This book gathers the essential letters and writings of these two influential saints.
