St. Francis of Assisi Coloring Page
In a world in which so many of us live with consistent access to convenience, decadence, and guaranteed entertainment, St. Francis of Assisi is a profound example of humility, piety, and self-sacrifice. Modernity has given us comforts that we don't even realise we take for granted, possibly not unlike the pleasures and riches that St. Francis forwent in his journey to salvation. Receiving harsh criticism and even ostracization from many who knew him his whole life, St. Francis knew in his heart that his worth could only be determined by God, and not by worldly appraisals and wealth. We remember St. Francis as a gentle friar who valued even the humblest of God's creation- animals- but we often overlook the radical nature of his conversion, consecration to poverty, and zealous pursuit of "rebuilding His church." Looking to the life of St. Francis as a means of conforming our lives to God's will is not only a helpful exercise but an essential reply to the spiritual challenges of modernity.
