In this entry . . . What is it about St. Francis of Assisi that keeps people reading and writing books about him? For over 800 years this man has fascinated the world. One of the most helpful things he said is simply, “What is mine to do?” What has God given you to do? Not, what is your sister’s or your mother’s direction; what is yours to do? No matter our physical age, much like Francis and Clare, we need to walk outside “the gates of Assisi,” outside our comfort zones to discover exactly what is ours to do.
