A must-read for anyone interested in Franciscan Theology.

Religion throughout its history has been used to justify dominance and rightness, a narrative that sadly continues today. St. Francis of Assisi, however, fell in love with a Christ who cultivated humility and connection rather than power and division. This Christ of humility and poverty—depicted by Ilia Delio, OSF, in this Franciscan classic—invites us to contemplate a theology that can heal the separation within ourselves and our divided world today.

Still reading - as with all of Sr. Ilia's books, always challenging me to go deeper. Just why I keep working with them!
