These "white martyrs" sought solitude, remoteness, even harshness, in places apart from the world where they could fast, pray, and move closer to an understanding of God: places where they could see angels. Columba, who founded the famous monastery at Iona, was the most well-known of these courageous men who rowed their curraghs towards danger and uncertainty in a pagan land, but the many others are now largely forgotten by history.

He was, at one time or another, in both subtle and obvious ways, all of these things.

The path Saint Francis discovered is the way of faith made tangible - and his way was always a way of peace.

At one point or another, most of us have ruminated on the ultimate meaning of our lives. We may ask questions such as what is this life all about?

Ce petit livre audio veut aborder un thème fondamental de l'existence chrétienne, celui de la liberté intérieure. Le but est simple : il me paraît essentiel que chaque chrétien découvre que, même dans les circonstances extérieures les plus défavorables, il dispose en lui-même d'un espace de liberté que personne ne peut lui ravir, car c'est Dieu qui en est la source et le garant. Sans cette découverte, nous serons toujours à l'étroit dans la vie et nous ne goûterons jamais un vrai bonheur.

The Little Flowers of St. Francis is a classic collection of popular legends about the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Composed at the end of the 14th century by an unknown author, this manuscript is a version of the Latin Actus beati Francisci et sociorum eius, which can be dated to 1390 AD. Most scholars are now agreed that the author was Ugolino Brunforte (1262-1348). The text was the inspiration for Roberto Rossellini’s 1950 film Francesco, giullare di Dio (Francis, God’s Jester), which was co-written by Federico Fellini.
