Religion throughout its history has been used to justify dominance and rightness, a narrative that sadly continues today. St. Francis of Assisi, however, fell in love with a Christ who cultivated humility and connection rather than power and division. This Christ of humility and poverty--depicted by Ilia Delio, OSF, in this Franciscan classic--invites us to contemplate a theology that can heal the separation within ourselves and our divided world today.
