It is we, who get tired of asking for forgiveness.\u2026. He is the loving Father who always forgives, who has that heart of mercy for all of us. And let us also learn to be merciful with everyone.\u201d In these\u00a0 simple and very deep expressions we find the root of the St. Francis&#8217; Christian experience. Some of his writings and hagiographies highlight how his personal life is right characterized by the discovery of God&#8217;s mercy towards himself, therefore merciful in turn towards others. In his <em>Testament, <\/em>Francis reviews his life already at the end of his days and\u00a0 recognizes the source of his path: <em>\u201c <\/em>When I was in sin the sight of lepers was too bitter for me. And the Lord himself led me among them, and I pitied and helped them.\u201d. He does not choose this encounter before which he was only able to run away because of his \u201c being in sin\u201d, whereas he learned to accept it in faith,\u201c pitying them\u201d. That hurt person becomes a sign of God&#8217;s mystery to Francis. Hence, the Saint of Assisi begins his journey by recognizing God&#8217;s forgiveness of his sins and learns how to be merciful. This look will affect every Francis&#8217; relationships.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading in Italian: <a title=\"Misericordia e pace di un povero\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cristianocattolico.it\/rassegna-stampa-cattolica\/formazione-e-catechesi\/san-francesco-d-assisi-misericordia-e-pace-di-un-povero.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.cristianocattolico.it\/rassegna-stampa-cattolica\/formazione-e-catechesi\/san-francesco-d-assisi-misericordia-e-pace-di-un-povero.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casa della Tenerezza is located in Umbria, where the Saint Francis of Assisi&#8217;s charisma offers a very specific way of living the tenderness.
