Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

St. Francis of Assisi died surrounded by his closest friends and religious brothers.

The 13th-century preacher originally responded to a call to rebuild the Church by selling his possessions to repair the ruined chapel of San Damiano. He later transitioned from physical restoration to a mission of converting hearts and renewing lives through the Gospel. Born into a wealthy family, Francis renounced a successful business career to embrace poverty and truth.
