Peace and Good: Through the Year with Francis of Assis

Peace and Good is a page-a-day book of teachings from Francis of Assisi and his followers. Each day offers inspiration to anyone interested in Franciscan spirituality and a daily dose of “peace and good”—a phrase often associated with Francis and his followers.

The reflections are organized by month and by theme (peace, prayer, Jesus, conversion, poverty, solitude, beauty, simplicity, service of the poor, creatures, people of God, and joy). Each month has a brief introduction showing how its theme was important to Francis. For each day, it offers a quote from Francis’s teachings, a suggestion for applying that teaching to the your life, and a challenge for using the teaching to enhance your spiritual practice. The book can be used from year to year.
