A Story from the Life of St. Francis of Assisi: "What Is Perfect Joy?"

[mdgspencer]

In this startling story Saint Francis of Assisi tells where he finds joy. Doing so, Saint Francis brings out something of the essence of Christianity. This story is taken from the medieval “The Little Flowers of Saint Francis,” which relates events in the life of St. Francis, some years after he died.
