Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: San Francesco d'Assisi), born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, informally named as Francesco (1181/1182 – 3 October 1226),[1][4] was an Italian Roman Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men’s , the women’s Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis and the .[1] Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.[1] Pope Gregory IX canonized Francis on 16 July 1228. Along with Saint Catherine of Siena, he was designated Patron saint of Italy.

their time wandering through the mountainous districts of Umbria, always cheerful and full of songs, yet mak- ing a deep impression upon their hearers by their earnest exhortations.[4] Francis’ preaching to ordinary people was unusual since he had no license to do so.[1] In 1209 he composed a sim- ple rule for his followers (“friars”), the Regula primitiva or “Primitive Rule”, which came from verses in the Bible. The rule was “To follow the teachings of our Lord Je- sus Christ and to walk in his footsteps”. In 1209, Francis led his first eleven followers to Rome to seek permission from Pope Innocent III to found a new religious Order.[21] Upon entry to Rome, the brothers encountered Bishop Guido of Assisi, who had in his company Giovanni di San Paolo, the Cardinal Bishop of Sabina. The Cardinal, who was the confessor of Pope Innocent III, was immediately sympathetic to Francis and agreed to represent Francis to the pope. Reluctantly, Pope Innocent agreed to meet with Legend of St. Francis, Sermon to the Birds, upper Basilica of Francis and the brothers the next day. After several days, San Francesco d'Assisi the pope agreed to admit the group informally, adding that when God increased the group in grace and number, they could return for an official admittance. The group was tonsured.[22] This was important in part because it 6 3 TRAVELS

Francis received her at the Porziuncola and thereby established the Order of Poor Ladies, later called Poor Clares.[23] This was an Order for women, and he gave Clare a religious habit, or gar- ment, similar to his own, before lodging her and a few female companions in a nearby monastery of Benedictine nuns. Later he transferred them to San Damiano.[1] There they were joined by many other women of Assisi. For those who could not leave their homes, he later formed the Third Order of Brothers and Sisters of Penance, a fra- ternity composed of either laity or clergy whose members neither withdrew from the world nor took religious vows. Instead, they observed the principles of Franciscan life in their daily lives.[1] Before long, this Third Order grew beyond Italy.

Determined to bring the Gospel to all God’s creatures, Francis sought on several occasions to take his message out of Italy. In the late spring of 1212, he set out for Jerusalem, but he was shipwrecked by a storm on the Dalmatian coast, forcing him to return to Italy. On May 8, 1213, he was given the use of the mountain of La Verna (Alverna) as a gift from Count Orlando di Chiusi, who Francis of Assisi Francisco de Zurbarán.
