The Little Flowers of St. Francis by W. Heywood

Description

The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi is a book by W. Heywood, first published in 1906, which brings together the cherished Little Flowers of St. Francis, accounts of the Most Holy Stigmata of St. Francis, the Life of Friar Juniper, the Life and Teachings of Friar Giles, and addenda drawn from manuscripts. This classic spiritual anthology offers a florilegium of vivid, pious anecdotes and moral parables celebrating the humility, asceticism, and joyful service of St. Francis and his companions. These timeless stories—including Francis preaching to birds, the legendary taming of the wolf, and Friar Juniper’s famous pig’s-feet tale—illustrate spiritual poverty, divine simplicity, and Christ-like love, making the work beloved as both Franciscan literature and medieval Christian folklore.
