Using the Canticle of the Creatures as a framework, Murray Bodo, a Franciscan friar, and Susan Saint Sing, a secular Franciscan, reflect on a lifetime of following Francis of Assisi and the way Franciscan spirituality can inspire and encourage a wholeness of body and soul through all the ups and downs of life.
“Deeply personal and sometimes funny, telling of each author’s personal path to finding one’s own life song. In a world that seems wildly out of control at times, their introspection and quiet peacefulness is hugely welcomed. Each author in tandem (mostly) reflects on and ties their personal experiences to those of St. Francis and Clare in a breezy style that’s both simple and complex. Anyone of any faith or, none at all, can enjoy this uplifting read.”
—John Stinson
“Fr. Murray Bodo and Susan Saint Sing have written a remarkable history of a forty year friendship and enduring faith and inspiration that evolved from the story of Francis of Assisi. In such times of darkness their steady eye on what is good is well worth a read.”—Deborah Gaffaney
