Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''The Life and Legends of Saint Francis of Assisi'' by Father Candide Chalippe is a comprehensive biography of the beloved Italian saint. The book begins with a detailed account of Francis' early life, including his youth as a wealthy merchant's son and his subsequent conversion to a life of…poverty and service to God. Chalippe then goes on to chronicle Francis' many accomplishments, including his founding of the Franciscan order, his work with the poor and sick, and his famous interactions with animals.Throughout the book, Chalippe draws on a wide range of sources, including Francis' own writings, as well as accounts from his contemporaries and later biographers. He also explores the many legends that have grown up around Francis over the centuries, such as the story of his preaching to the birds and his receiving of the stigmata.Overall, ''The Life and Legends of Saint Francis of Assisi'' is a rich and engaging portrait of one of the most beloved figures in Christian history. It offers readers a deep understanding of Francis' life and work, as well as insights into the enduring impact he has had on the world.After a contest of humility between the two patriarchs, as to who should speak first, Dominic, urged by Francis to take the lead, said to him:--''You excel me in humility, and I will excel you in obedience.'' He then gave the cardinal this answer:--''My lord, my brethren may well consider themselves as holding a very elevated rank. What is there more honorable than teaching others from the Evangelical pulpit What should well-thinking minds desire more than to be employed in defence of the faith, and to combat the enemies of the Church For this reason I strenuously desire that my brethren may remain as they are, and I will keep them so as long as I can.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
