Francis Preaching to the Birds
Francis loved Mother Earth and nature was his home. The birds and animals loved to hear Francis pray and speak to them. He often praised them for their luxuries and how God provided for them daily. One day of many for Francis, a cool breeze rushed in with hundreds of birds. They were all in silence to hear Francis’ word from God. To this day, the world knows Francis as the lover of animals and birds. He was later canonized as the patron saint of animals. This is only a small part of his teachings. Francis loved to spread the true gospel of Jesus for peace and love for everything and everyone. The story of him preaching to the birds is a great story, but not the only teachings he provided.
