By Karyn Shields


There are people who have done so much in the world. There are ordinary men who became notable because of the things that they have done to the world and to the citizens. It is through the Supreme Being which makes the lives of these people extraordinary. One example of them is a saint. He offered everything just for the people. What he wants is the best to the men without even minding himself.

It is why a saint is called such because he can sacrifice everything just for the sake of the people who needs them. They do not mind about their own. What is important for them are the lives of the folks and the goodness that they can impart to the cruel world. One holy person that appeals to the world is Saint Francis. He had done so much to the people. Saint Francis Of Assisi biography can help you study in how he had lived his life as a normal person and when he became a saint.

Saint Francis owns the zodiac of Sagittarius. He was given birth on November 26, 1182. His mother, Pica de Bourlemont introduces him to the world in Assisi. His father, Pietro di Bernardone came from a wealthy family. His mother also came from a notable family. He was christened as Giovanni which was changed to Francesco.

He is known as the patron of ecology. He is the founder of Order of Friars Minor. The Order was later noted as Franciscans. He is known to be the primary Italian poet which all his writings used the jargon of Umbria. He never uses Latin words.

Though he was born in a wealthy family where all he need are answered right away, it was very opposite to what he had done to the world. No matter how rich his living was as a child, everything changed when he saw the reality of the world. It changed even more when he was called by God. He led his life by serving the poor folks.

When a war broke in 1202, he joined as one of the soldiers. His experience during the warfare was unforgivable and undesirable. He could not take all the drastic experiences away from his thoughts. He was even held as a prisoner because the enemies can use him for a payment. All the affluent soldiers have experienced what Francis had undergone.

When his family had given his ransom, he was freed right away. All the pain that he got in his heart has marked a tremendous scar which will never be wiped out. He was ill in mind and body. It is because of that certain incident which aided him in changing his views of the world. His life was also altered.

Francis was a really good man and he wanted to help in constructing the church. In order to get enough funds for the project, he stole the horse and cloth from his father. His father then became extremely angry. He was then asked to return the money to his father yet when he had done it, they could not believe their eyes. He stripped off his clothes. He returned the money to his father but he told them that it is only God whom he knows as a father.

He also received a vision from Christ which left him the stigmata. It resembles the wounds that Jesus Christ had experienced when he was crucified. He then died on October 3, 1226 in Assisi, Italy. He died at the age of 44.
