Saint Francis Of Assisi: A Big Impact On Today's World

Improved Essays
Saint Francis of Assisi had created a big impact on today's world, even if they were small things, they would still send shock waves around the world. I believe that Saint Francis of Assisi is a great model for all of us because he teaches that life is not a problem to be solved, but something to be experience and learn from. He impacted the world due to what he has done to make the world a better place.

Saint Francis of Assisi was born around the year 1181 in Assisi, duchy of Spoleto, Italy. He came from a wealthy family. His father was a person who had to do a lot in the cloth trade business, and that type of job made a lot of money that time. He owned a farmland.

He became famous for his deep love, strong emotion, courage of poverty. Also he was know for for his deep love towards nature and animals.

The prayer of Saint Francis is about peace and equality towards what every race. Peace is important because without peace, the world would be a chaos. Everything would fall apart and have negativity. But with peace, none of theses things would happen. Equality is very important because we all need to be fair. This is how we build relationships and build trust.

What I think about Saint Francis of Assisi is that he is a true hero. He is a strong inspiring role model for any person who wants to be inspired. He has this ability like no one ever before. What I thought was interesting was that when he was living his teenage years, he was doing bad things and had a bad habit like any other teenager, but what was interesting was that he did not continued this way. He changed a lot and became more mature. I thought he was was going to continue with his bad habit but it turns out I was wrong.

I think Pope Francis took his name because he created a big impact on the world, and maybe because he wants to show respect and honor to Saint Francis of Assis. For these reasons, this is why I think he chose his

    Francis continued to grow spiritually and felt a calling of going out and spreading the word of the Lord to continue his habits of following the lord. If it weren't for Francis’s ability to stand to his virtues, he would not have made such an impact on the world like he has. Now he had a lot of virtues and I can’t even think of a vice that he had in his later days. Some of the good habits that allowed for him to do such good was following one of God’s most important laws; Loving everyone. Francis treated each person and all of creation as if they were all gifts from God above.…

    The meaning of life as viewed from Dr. Ambrosio through the lens of western culture, historical philosophers, is that of a question rather than an answer. The question should be the sole responsibility of everyone both past, present, and future. That question is: “human existence as a whole meaningful or absurd” (Ambrosio)? In other words, can the terms saint and hero help us understand the question; through the example and a comparison of these terms; the question of what is the meaning of life may in itself provide fulfillment to the fundamental choice of the idea of saint and hero through living distinctly personal and in society.…

He went through a lot of doubts and suffrage, but all of it would ultimately help create the man who still today, is teaching and leading people to Christ.…
