About this book
This study of St. Francis’ Office of the Passion invites the reader to engage with the mind of Jesus as he goes through his Passion in complete abandonment to the will of his Father. It is meant to be used prayerfully.
The presence of Mary as she accompanies her son on his painful journey is explored through the beautiful Marian Antiphon recited at the beginning and end of every psalm in Francis’ Office. Through it St. Francis shows the relationship between son and mother.
Sr. Ruth Agnes Evans shows how the Office of the Passion grew from Francis’ own life, from his imprisonment in Perugia and his break with his father Pietro di Bernardone to his embrace of extreme poverty, and how he remains an inspiration for service of the marginalized today.
