Francis of Assisi: Francis, go and repair my house, which, as thou seest, is falling entirely into ruin."

SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI: Custodes Traditionis, Vol. I In an age when sanctity has been reduced to the object of superficial sentimental myths, and figures from Catholic history are systematically cloaked in the garb of modernistic humanism, social utopianism, and naturalistic pacifist activism, it is profoundly urgent to restore the true face of Saint Francis of Assisi. Contemporary culture and the liberal discourse attempt to turn the Seraphic Father into some medieval precursor of a modern ecologist or a sympathetic hippie who sang to the sun and flowers in an idyllic peace devoid of dogmas, sacraments, and the combat against sin. Such a portrait is not only historically false but deeply heretical, for it erases that which is most essential: the Cross, penance, Lady Poverty, a burning love for the Eucharistic Jesus, and unconditional obedience to Holy Mother Church. Saint Francis was neither a champion of earthly justice nor a romantic poet of nature for nature's sake. He was the consummate penitent, a knight of the King of Kings, a blazing seraph whose entire being melted in fervent love for the crucified Savior. His attitude toward creatures was never pagan nature-worship, but rather a hymn of praise to the Creator whose reflection is visible in the works of His hands, wherein creatures were merely mute witnesses to the majesty of God's greatness, before whom Francis cast himself prostrate in the dust. This biography arises from the necessity to restore the truth to its rightful place. Relying upon the earliest and most credible sources of Catholic tradition - such as the historical writings of Brother Thomas of Celano, the testimonies of the Three Companions, and traditional hagiographical records cleansed of modern revisionist layers - this book guides the reader along the paths of true grace. Inside this volume, you will encounter: A Francis who weeps over the ingratitude of the world toward Christ's Passion. A Francis who embraces lepers with supernatural joy. A Francis who flees from sin and the flesh into rigorous fasts. The sacred and unmistakable Stigmata visibly imprinted upon his body on Mount Alverna. May this book serve as a spiritual shield and a light to everyone who seeks the true Catholic saint, far from the false glamour of contemporary ideologies. May the intercession of the Seraphic Father awaken souls from the slumber of lukewarmness and lead them back to the narrow path that leads to life eternal, for the greater glory of God and the salvation of immortal souls.
