Francis: Brother of All, The Fraternity in the Proposal of the Saint of Assisi
During his ten years as chief pastor of the Church, Pope Francis has engaged the chronic problems of our age with a consistent (Franciscan) call for an integral love for all creatures and a persistent invitation to sisterhood and brotherhood. A new book by work published by Franciscan Institute Publications explores the distinct features of this Franciscan conception of universal brother/sisterhood. Written by Pietro Maranesi OFM Cap. and translated by Steven McMichael OFM Conv., Francis: Brother of All – The Fraternity in the Proposal of the Saint of Assisi (2023) guides readers through the inspirational proposal of St. Francis for a new set of relationships in his (and our) world. Maranesi wonderfully breaks open the layers of meaning contained in the concept of fraternity, setting it in its proper historical context and teasing out its implications for social reconciliation today.” David Couturier, OFM, in Franciscan Connections.
