Francis with Great Joy

FRANCIS WITH GREAT JOY
The realization begins. With the Lord in his heart and extreme joy on his face, Francis takes the grand news and hurries back to his father’s house. “It’s a new day! Can you feel the joy?” he exclaims to his parents Pica and Peter. He says his goodbyes and explains, “From this day on I give up all worldly goods and say My Father in heaven.” Francis followed the gospel of Jesus from this day on, and walked in the footsteps of His Lord.

FRANCESCO A BRACCIA APERTE
Inizia la realizzazione. Con il signore nel suo cuore e gioia estrema sul volto, Francesco porta la notizia alla casa paterna: “E un nuovo giorno! Sentite la gioia?” esclama ai suoi gerutori, Pica e Pietro. Dando l’addio spiega: “Da questo giorno lascio i beni del mondo per il Padre nei cieli.” Da allora Francesco segui il Vangelo di Gesu e cammino nelle orme del suo Signore.
