God's Fool

There is no better paraphrasing of the Gospel than the life and ministry of God’s Fool, Saint Francis of Assisi.  These legends are all mirrors of Gospel stories.  They portray Francis walking in the footsteps of Our Lord. 

The first story: “The Wolf of Gubbio” is a story about Saint Francis’ encounter with a dangerous wolf who lived near Assisi, in the city of Gubbio.  Francis does not follow conventional wisdom in dealing with the wolf, but approaches him in the spirit of Gospel charity.
