Things St. Francis ACTUALLY Said

Previously, Catholicism in Focus debunked a lot of things St. Francis never actually said. Now, here's a look at some of the things he actually DID say.

As Italians, I confirm we are taught the Canticle of Creatures at school as one of the early texts of our national literature.. and it is a blessing that our culture started from these holy roots..

I am a Baptist minister who was educated in the Catholic School system. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are well planned, thought out, relevant and interesting. I am very fascinated by the Catholic tradition and through your videos, I am gaining a better understanding of Catholicism.

For a young man you are wise beyond your years. I'm always eager to hear what you have to say. Very well spoken. This was definitely your calling. :)

Brother Casey, my favorite is the next. Trying to accomplish the first part in my service:
" Lord make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy. "
But : But as a human and weak failing in what follows:
"O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it's in dying that we are born to eternal life
Amen "
Prayers, love & peace.

My mother instilled her belief of Anthony and St Francis. I have always admired Saint Francis and tried to emulate his thought and practice..Thak you for the renewal

Well done, Fr. Casey! Absolutely beautiful sharing! The Franciscan way of life is a good way of life to follow Jesus. I know because I belong to a Secular Franciscan Order back in the Philippines and I am still a Franciscan in my way of life here in California . Thanks, Fr. Casey. The whole world needs to hear what you’re saying. God bless and protect you .

I was just watching the movie last night and i find it very sweet despite maybe it not being accurate i love it saint claire inspires me as you do

[normadaniel]

We love saint Francis in Lebanon and your are a great disciple of him god bless you

[stevenpatrickstone]

My father's name was Francis and so I have decided to make St Francis a close friend. Thank you for all this information . I find his writings to be extremely comforting. Suggestion: Maybe do a video entitled "Why I have no doubt God exists" . Even though I have become a Catholic again (thanks to your videos) I would be dishonest if I said I don't ever have moments of questioning.

In 5:03 i need to add, if St. Francis back than had an understanding of our Holy Fathers bookkeeping, he would have said it different. I heard he has that understanding now. If u wanna have an understanding of the Holy Fathers bookkeeping for your soul, than pray for it, or simple say your acceptance. It will be presented than.

Good and constructive use of the historical facts without getting lost in historical criticism, which is not bad itself but it can get messy. I liked a lot this vid and specially that you tell us where to find the stuff.

[dantarot]

Thanks for sharing a summary of Francis using historical-critical methodology. I have a small library of books about Francis, including the "Omnibus of Sources." The three new books you showed looked very good. Thanks for your work.

[Renson]

[tallmikbcroft]

Good job. Very cool info and i admire your attempts at humility. You are sincere and I'm grateful for your work in this channel. Really, very well done

[cleocatra]

St Francis is so cool if i could go back in time and give him a hug…

[gxklugsjskks]

Father can you pray for me to practice and apply to my life what I learned to you....

[MichaelDavis-xyzy]

Loved this ! Question, WHere do I order the three books you spoke of? (Francis of Assisi - the early documents) Thank You Brother Casey!

[Maxnly]

Br. Casey, your videos are excellent. May I suggest only that you slow down a little in you presentations. The content is great.
