The World Of Saint Francis Of Assisi Biography

By Karyn Shields


There are mortal men who were born not just to become a common type of person. Some of them have to be astounded with how the world leads them to become more than how an ordinary person can offer. Saints are some of these people and they have lived their lives more of what they have perceived. They have done things which ordinary men have not done. They are called to be a saint because God have buried them with the love and strength which are beyond compare.

Sacrifice is the main purpose of every saint. They sacrifice themselves for the sake of others. They do not mind how hungry they have become for as long as they have fed the poor. They do not think about about how cold they would get for as long as they have clothe the sick. Everything that they have done do not ask for something in return. Saint Francis of Assisi biography talks about the things mentioned.

Saint Francis was born on November 26, 1182 in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. His mother gave birth to him in a place called Assisi, a holy roman empire. His father, Pietro di Bernardone and his mother, Pica de Bourlemont came from a noble family. He was baptized by the name of Giovanni which his father changed to Francesco.

He is known as the patron of ecology. He is the founder of Order of Friars Minor. The Order was later noted as Franciscans. He is known to be the primary Italian poet which all his writings used the jargon of Umbria. He never uses Latin words.

Though he was born in a wealthy family where all he need are answered right away, it was very opposite to what he had done to the world. No matter how rich his living was as a child, everything changed when he saw the reality of the world. It changed even more when he was called by God. He led his life by serving the poor folks.

When a war broke in 1202, he joined as one of the soldiers. His experience during the warfare was unforgivable and undesirable. He could not take all the drastic experiences away from his thoughts. He was even held as a prisoner because the enemies can use him for a payment. All the affluent soldiers have experienced what Francis had undergone.

When his family had payed his ransom, he was immediately freed by the enemy troops. Yet even when he was already a free man, the deep wounds that he encountered during the war has been carved deep inside him. He was sick in both mind and body. He could not picture out the things that he had viewed during the war. He could not put away the shock and the wounds during such tragic incident.

Francis was a great man. He fed the sick and he even helped in assembling the church. Since the church lacks fund, he then decided to do a thing which can truly make his father angry. He robbed the horse of his father. He also stole the cloth that is also owned by his father. He had only done it because he desired to help.

Instead of following the order, he made a shocking act. He stripped off all his clothes and pass the money along to this father. He even told them that God is the only father that he recognized.
