Book Description
Excerpt from Blessed Giles of Assisi "Tell the Perugians that the bells shall never ring for my canonisation, nor for any great miracles wrought by me." And yet, after the lapse of more than six centuries, it appears probable that these, the last recorded words of the humble Giles of Assisi, may be disproved, and he may be the first of the original disciples of Saint Francis of Assisi to receive the full honours of canonisation. From among the little group of simple-minded, single-hearted men who at the dawn of the thirteenth century were the first to receive the message of evangelical perfection and to cluster around St. Francis, it is almost invidious to point to any one as the most fascinating and attractive of those Knights of his Round Table, as the Saint himself called them. The Little Flowers of St. Francis, now fortunately so well known to modern readers, has endeared them one and all to us: and each of them, Leo, Bernard, Juniper, Giles, has his own place in our affections. But Blessed Giles of Assisi might, if he had not been the humblest and most retiring of men, have claimed a place second to none among the apostolic founders of the movement, which stirred the dry bones of Western Christendom in the thirteenth century.

Golden Sayings of the Blessed Brother Giles of Assisi
Author: Paschal Robinson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781331120605
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Excerpt from Golden Sayings of the Blessed Brother Giles of Assisi: Newly Translated and Edited Together With a Sketch of His Life There existed in the Franciscan Order from an early date a school of asceticism, remarkable no less for great elevation of thought than for singular vivacity and picturesqueness of expression. This two-fold characteristic is perhaps nowhere more happily blended than in the Dicta Aurea of Blessed Giles of Assisi, a work which the Bollandists do not hesitate to rank at the head of its class and which is here presented to the reader in an English dress. No one at all conversant with things Franciscan need be told that Blessed Giles was of that stalwart little band who "were with the Blessed Francis from the time he began to have companions." "The Knight of our Round Table," St. Francis called him, and Giles remains the ideal type of the Franciscan Friar. It may not then be amiss to preface our study of his "Golden Sayings" with some account, however brief, of the long, strange life and the surroundings of their author.
