A Kiss for the Leper: The Story and Ideals of St Francis of Assisi

By (author) Eric Doyle OFM





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

This hitherto unknown manuscript, written in 1981 to commemorate the 800th centenary of St Francis' birth, provides not only an account of the humanity of St Francis, but also an insight as to how people of our own age may live the active-contemplative life, of which Francis was the supreme example. The book is more than a spiritual guide, however. It is a summons to every Christian to play their part in restoring justice to creation as the chapter entitled 'The Universe, My Friary' demonstrates. The deceptively simple language communicates a profoundly serious message. The book concludes with Doyle's own translations of St Francis' prayers.
