About this book
Your directors for this retreat are Francis and Clare of Assisi, two young people of the same city who set out to follow the Christ who spoke to them from the cross of San Damiano and to rebuild the Church by living the Gospel.
Over seven days Murray Bodo and Susan Saint Sing walk with the reader through Assisi and the Umbrian countryside: to the place of the lepers, to San Damiano and its crucifix, to the basilicas of St. Clare and St. Francis, and into Clare’s garden. Each day joins the going forth of pilgrimage to the going within of retreat.
Written for pilgrims who will walk those streets and for readers who will make the journey only in prayer, it draws on Scripture, the writings of Francis and Clare, and poets and travelers from Denise Levertov to Nikos Kazantzakis.
Fr. Murray Bodo, OFM, is known around the world for his poetry and his best-selling Francis: The Journey and the Dream. Susan Saint Sing, PhD, is a writer on sport, spirituality and play, and was a member of the 1993 U.S. National Rowing Team.
