The Little Flowers of Saint Francis translated by Raphael Brown
I love reading books like this. I feel like a daily dose of the saints helps guide me toward living a better life in my attitude and actions in every day life. Some day I expect to make the time to really read a bit like this every day.
As enlightening and uplifting as the stories of St. Francis were, my favorite part of the book were the vignettes on Brother Juniper. He was so enamored by the love of Christ that his Brothers had to command him to stop giving away the very clothes he was wearing. He obeyed the command but not quite the spirit of it by allowing and encouraging a needy man to "steal" the habit right off his back.
