    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2018
     | 3,626 views

Chesterton said about St. Francis that “he plunged after poverty as men have dug madly for gold.” He was in love with what or who he called “Lady Poverty” for a crazy but practical reason and it has to do with spreading the Gospel of the ...read more
