Book Description
Here, told in a vivid and original way, is the full story of the life of St. Francis of Assisi. This story has been told many times before, but Fr. Larranaga tells it with a new spirit, seamlessly combining a modern spirit with the freshness and sense of wonder of the Fioretti. When Francis Bernardone was held as a prisoner of war at the age of 20, he never dreamed that he would become a knight in the service of Lady Poverty. By the time he died 25 years later, he had become the Poor Man of God, the living image of the Crucified Savior.

Book Description
In the very early days of the Franciscan Order, Brother Leo, a priest of Assisi, joined Francis of Assisi and became his close companion. Brother Leo, often performing the duties of a secretary, would offer Mass for those of the group who, like Francis, were not ordained to the priesthood. Along with two other early friars, Leo is believed to have written a collection of accounts of their experiences with Francis. Brother Leo Remembers Francis is a fictionalized tale of life with Francis, presenting events that might have happened and words that might have been spoken -- and a Francis that might have been. This book is a companion to The Autumn of Saint Francis of Assisi, also by Roderic Petrie, O.F.M. Father Roderic, himself an itinerant preacher, takes us on a journey through the Italian towns and hills where Francis and Leo lived and walked. Through the voice of Brother Leo we come to know how Francis was called to rebuild the Church, how he created the first Christmas crib at Greccio and how he received the stigmata, the imprint of Jesus Christ's wounds.
