For all today who have a complicated or troubled relationship with their father, #FrancisofAssisi perhaps can help. He had such troubles, and they weren't much improved over the course of his adult life. 🙏🙏

This was the case with many, if not most, saints. They generally chose a different path than the one their parents preferred.

Thanks and Happy Father’s Day to both of you, two of my favorite follows. I’m a Secular Franciscan (candidate), speaker for Father Capodanno Guild (Maryknoll connection), and member of Henri Nouwen Society Board.
