Two Small Coins Of St. Francis

Christ's Poor One, Francis, possessed nothing but two small coins (cf. Mark 12:42) which he could dispose of with largesse and charity: his body and his soul. But those two mites he offered to God continually, for love of Christ; he seemed always to be immolating his body with the rigor of fasting and his soul with the flame of desire: his body, a holocaust outside in the court of the temple; his soul, incense offered in the inner temple.

  1. Dear Brother Lesser,

    I LOVE your Franciscan blog! It goes along with my blog, which is dedicated to St. Clare. It looks like you and I joined St. Blog's parish on the same day, too! I'll be sure to link your blog to mine as soon as my finals are over. Keep up the good work!

    Pax et Bonum,

    Chiara
