We know him as preaching to the animals and living extreme poverty, but this saint has an exciting past. Tune into this Catholic Bytes episode to learn how this saint turned his life around.
“O you sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? Behold – daily He humbles Himself as when from heaven’s royal throne He came down into the womb of the Virgin. Daily, He Himself, comes to us with like humility; daily He descends from the bosom of the Father, upon the altar, in the hands of the priest.” – St. Francis of Assisi
