Reflections on St. Francis

John Michael Talbot's Refl ections on St. Francis offers readers an
accessible entrance into the Rule and Testament of St. Francis
of Assisi. Talbot's refl ections shed light on Francis as a saint, a
founder, and a reformer. Drawing on his own experience as the
founder of The Brothers and Sisters of Charity at Little Portion
Hermitage, an integrated monastic community of celibates,
singles, and families, Talbot provides unique observations on
how Francis's life and the Franciscan tradition can be a source of
inspiration for those of all states of life even today.
These meditations allow readers to contemplate the ways in
which prayer, community, and simplicity can be integrated
into their own lives while also giving readers Talbot's distinct
interpretation of Francis's work.
