St. Francis was a very fiery preacher, and his passionate preaching, with God's grace, resulted in many conversions. He was not one for being silent! He did make a comment about the religious habit (clothing)being a sermon unto itself, and the modern faithful Catholics would acknowledge the same. <br /><br />Of course you see, from that, the legend from the reality! <br /><br />LOL (I love the point being made in the quote but I hate the dishonesty in attributing laziness in evangelization to the fiery St. Francis!)Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712729947700372149.post-56496512004840123502010-07-21T10:36:28.102-07:002010-07-21T10:36:28.102-07:00Arg!
