Saint Francis and His Love of Creatures
4070 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, 92057
In this module we will discover Francis’ love for the Creator and creation in his own writings and in early biographies of the saint. Earlier stories of Christian saints living in harmony with the natural world will help to situate Francis within the rich Catholic tradition of care for creatures. An exploration of the theme of Francis and creatures in the arts (painting, music, and drama) will complement the reading of literary texts.
