Consistently Vibrant Music inspired by St Francis of Assisi - heard by GERALD FENECH 'A heart-melting issue ...'

Almost eight hundred years after his death, St Francis of Assisi remains one of the central pillars of Roman Catholicism, and, maybe, the main inspirational figure to believers and unbelievers alike. Beloved the world over for his charismatic gifts of charity, devotion to poverty and delight in creation, Saint Francis will always be that shining light to all those who seek true inner peace with themselves and with the world, and his poetic writings portraying God's love for all his creatures are as fresh and actual as if they were written only yesterday. The fact that the present Pope bears his name is of immeasurable significance, and it is definitely not a co-incidence that this CD has the same title as Pope Francis's latest encyclical...
