"Life of St. Francis of Assisi" by Paul Sabatier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the life and spiritual journey of St. Francis, exploring his transformation from a wealthy youth into a revered religious figure known for his profound love for God, humanity, and nature. The book aims to unveil the character of St. Francis, emphasizing his deep compassion and unique approach to faith that resonated with the common people of his time. The opening of the text begins with a reflection on the historical context of Assisi, where St. Francis was born. It recounts his early life as the son of a wealthy merchant, detailing his carefree youth characterized by indulgence and nobility. However, illness and encounters with poverty lead to a pivotal awakening in Francis, prompting him to question the meaning of his life. He grapples with his past pursuits of pleasure and glory, eventually sparking a transformative shift towards a life dedicated to God and serving the underprivileged. This initial section sets the stage for understanding the profound impact of his later teachings and the foundational experiences that shaped his legendary status.
