Q 5 rinripalis wsagrz Pope Leo XIII once said that the Order of Saint Francis was aa most powerful antidote against all the evils which harass the present age . And surely, transcending space and time, the Spirit of Saint Francis falls across the face of the contemporary world like a breeze in the desert. Against an era dedicated to the acquisition' of material things he champions a poverty that goes singing through the snow despite its privations, and against a background of modern smoky industrialism he appears in a joy that makes him seem the first to have ever really appreciated the towering miracle of nature's creation. So, of course, with all Franciscans, I must find satisfaction in any effort to bring before our students the magnetic personality of our founding father. Nevertheless, may this one admonition be injected. Too often the zest, fun, and vitality which Francis drew from life is pictured as the result of a walk in the woods on a summer's day. A false sentimentalism like this seems to plague many of the saints. In actuality Francis had to endure solitary trials not without suffering before he reached the zenith of joy in which he is typi- cally pictured. He has been likened to a man who painfully dug his way to the heart of the earth. And only once passed its central core of darkness did he begin to rise upwards and into the light. Thus, the shouldering of difficulties is as inherent in the example of Francis as is the freedom of his way of life. That this example can provide a man with the most satisfying consequences for himself is best enunciated by Chesterton's description of the death of this Saint: . . . the stars that passed above the gaunt and wasted corpse stark upon the rocky floor had for once, in all their shining cycles round the world of laboring humanity, looked down ii 'J' eff!- upon a happy man. ...o , .r
