St. Francis of Assisi – The Saint Who Embraced Simplicity Born into wealth, Francis gave it all up to follow Christ in radical poverty. He called the sun and moon his brother and sister, cared for the poor, and saw every creature as a reflection of God’s love. His life reminds us that true joy isn’t found in possessions, but in living with humility, love, and care for creation. 🙏 St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us! | Catholic Online
