In the Footsteps of Francis and Clare

Product Description

…During the lifetime of Saint Francis there was a burning hunger and desire for things of the spirit, for sound spirituality, for the experience of God. Francis was able to respond to those hungers in a way unmatched, perhaps, by anyone since, and he awakened those hungers in the hearts of others. Here in our twenty-first century there is clear evidence of the same kind of desires in people's hearts. They are searching for paths that open them to the realization of their yearnings of the spirit.
—From the Introduction

Ask anyone who has been there—Assisi is a special place. The events in the lives of Francis and Clare seem to have charged the very rocks with a power that can still be felt today.

Our guide, Father Roch Niemier, is intimately acquainted with the places so close to the saints of Assisi—Rocca Maggiore, San Damiano, the Porziuncola, San Rufino, La Verna, Greccio, Maddalena, the Piazza Comune and the streets of Assisi. His exploration of the spirituality of place makes even the armchair pilgrim understand the meaning of these locales, and provides an unforgettable remembrance for those who have made the journey themselves.
