Séamus Mulholland, Francis Of Assisi The Sanctification Of A Wounded Humanity (Franciscan Publishing, 2023).
This work, rich in its use of Franciscan sources, concentrates its study not only on the history of Francis of Assisi but also his humanity. What emerges is a Francis driven by love and ardour who comes to ‘sainthood’ through the brute realities of the wounded human condition, wherein he has indeed received Origen’s ‘wound or dart of love’ which makes him all the more attractive to us today.
