In a world afflicted by violence, in a society marked by a growing gulf between rich and poor, in a church polarized around issues of power and authority, the example of St. Francis of Assisi remains fresh and relevant, a powerful model of the gospel in action. As award-winning author Michael Crosby points out, the memory of Francis does not simply challenge the violence and materialism of our culture. He embodies a positive, joy-filled example of humanity at its best. His mission to "repair the church" speaks directly to the crises facing the church today. His example of a nonviolent, justice-seeking, creation-centered spirituality speaks to the needs of our world and the deepest hungers of our hearts. Francis of Assisi is indeed a saint for all times.

Michael H. CrosbyĀ (1940-2017), a Capuchin Franciscan, was a tireless advocate for corporate responsibility. He travelled around the world, preaching and speaking on contemporary biblical discipleship. His many books includeĀ The Spiritualtity of the Beatitudes;Ā Do You Love Me?Ā andĀ The Prayer that Jesus Taught Us.
