- Saint Francis explains to Brother Leo what is NOT perfect joy, and prompts him to ask what IS perfect joy. An excerpt from the "Little Flowers of St. Francis" written in the late 1300s, one of the earliest collections of acts and words of the Friars Minor (The Order begun by Saint Francis). Galatians 6:14 and 1 Corinthians 6:14

Thank you for this post. I was raised a conservative Lutheran, but I found in St. Francis a role model which helped free me to go to the poorest of the poor in former East Germany. I found Christ in the poorest guy in the homeless shelter. Joseph (his name) had returned in the evening to the shelter after getting soaked in a pouring rain at freezing temperatures in November. He had eaten nothing all day. I had brought him a warm meal, such a simple thing, but it meant everything to him. Perfect joy is indeed in bearing our cross.
Sometimes I return here ☝🏻
Fantastic. God bless
Great.

This guy was a masochist.
Lol (not mocking, I really did). I can see how it could seem that way, but I think he understands something that Jesus' apostles did, if you read the Acts and Paul's epistles, not because they loved suffering, but because they saw how short this life is, and that their sharing in Christ's rejection by the world was evidence that they are being found worthy of the world to come, where true Justuce, joy & peace will reign forever, at God's right hand, where sorrow, suffering and dying will be no more, and we will have eternal ioy.
