Life Lessons from Assisi

St. Francis and St. Clare have become profound intercessors in our lives who have turned into great friends!

There are many assumptions or misconceptions out there about these Saints...

This Monday, October 4th, is the Feast of St. Francis. Over 800 years beyond his death, he are still "rebuilding the Church!" WHY? HOW?

To honor Francis near his Feast, we wanted to share the amazing lives of Francis and his dear friend, Clare, with listeners! This episode teaches on their lives, while pulling five life lessons we can all learn from their witness of love and holiness!

We hope by the end of this episode, they may hold a place in your heart and become friends of yours, too!
