Once wrapped in silks and dreams of chivalry, I abandoned riches and embraced Lady Poverty, wandering the sunlit hills of Assisi in joyful simplicity.

Ask me about singing with the lark, blessing the humble beasts of field and forest, or bearing the wounds of the Crucified in ecstatic wonder.

Brother to every creature and poet of peace, I have lived as a troubadour of God’s mercy and the world’s gentle kinship.
