In Love with Christ: The Secret of Saint Francis of Assisi
Author: Father Raniero Cantalamessa O.F.M.
“St. Francis is a universal man. During his life he preached to everyone, the learned and the ignorant, even to the birds and a wolf, according to Franciscan legend. One cannot speak of St. Francis except in a “Franciscan” way, that is in a simple, direct and – possibly – even in a poetic way. The blunt question that Brother Masseo asked St. Francis one day is well-known: “Why does everyone come to you? Why does the whole world run after you?” There is even more reason to pose the question today because the world that goes after the saint is no longer, as it was at that time, the little world of central Italy, but is, literally, the whole world, including many non-believers and members of other religions”.

About the Author:
🕊️The Awakening the Domestic Church (ADC) initiative was inspired by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, aiming to reinvigorate faith in God’s vision for traditional family life, which is seen as the cornerstone of all healthy societies. ADC emphasizes that Christian families, as "domestic churches," play a crucial role in mirroring the Trinity and embodying Jesus' presence within communities. This movement addresses concerns about the departure from Judeo-Christian moral foundations in society, a warning issued by Pope Paul VI in the 1960s, and emphasizes the church's mission to evangelize. Pope Saint John Paul II's introduction of the new evangelization, which focuses on contemporary methods to preach the Gospel and uphold the sacramental life, further supports this mission. He tasked Cardinal Ratzinger with writing the Catechism of the Catholic Church in the 1990s to ensure a correct understanding of the faith. Efforts were also made to restore full communion within the church by engaging with biblically-oriented Christians from other traditions. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI established a new Papal office, mobilizing over 800 individuals to encourage families to evangelize their neighborhoods, highlighting that a single family could influence 30 to 100 families through their evangelization efforts.
