Excerpt from Saint Francis of Assisi: Social Reformer Francis, born in an age Of faith, feeling, and enthusiasm, but also of social unrest, became a reformer as the natural outcome Of his love for God and for everything which God has created. A strenuous saint, but none the less open to the tenderest human sentiments, a poet, a trouba dour, a chevalier in character and aspirations, intensely in love with a poor, abandoned, but chaste maiden, La donna Poverta, Francis felt that he had received from God a mission to convert the world and to restore the peace and happiness which ought to reign among His children. He went to the people, to the poor and the rich, to the laymen and the clergy, to the great and the lowly, captivating all, not only by his charming character, but also by his unstudied and unaffected, yet irresistible eloquence, thus he became the soul of a popu lar movement, which spread over all Europe and made itself felt in all parts Of the then known world.
