Santa Rita

San Francisco

Francis converted and founded the mendicant order of the Friars Minor, better known as Franciscans, who renewed the Catholicism of his time. With the habit of itinerant preaching, when the religious of their day used to set themselves in monasteries, and with their belief that the Gospel should be followed to the letter, imitating the life of Christ, it developed a deep identification with the problems of their fellow men and the humanity of Christ himself. His attitude was original also when he affirmed the goodness and the marvel of Creation at a time when the world was seen as essentially evil, when he dedicated himself to the poorest of the poor, and when he loved all creatures by calling them brothers. Some scholars claim that his positive view of nature and man, which permeated the imagination of the whole society of his time, was one of the first forces that led to the formation of the Renaissance philosophy
