About this book
“I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God.” — Revelation 7:2, the text of the first sermon on St. Francis
Matthew of Aquasparta, born near Todi in Umbria around 1240, became a master at Paris, Minister General of the Friars Minor and a cardinal. Preaching on the feasts of the first Franciscan saints, he sees Francis as the angel of the sixth seal, marked with the stigmata of the Crucified, and holds up St. Anthony and St. Clare as models for the whole Church.
Translated by Campion Murray, OFM, from the edition of Gedeon Gál, OFM, with an introduction on the manuscripts and the dating of the sermons.
