Eight hundred years after the death of St. Francis of Assisi, why does the Little Poor Man still seem so alive?
This Sunday on Daybreak, from The Little Station on Commercial Street, we look beyond the familiar birds-and-birdbaths image of Francis to the far more surprising figure G. K. Chesterton encountered: fighter, builder, troubadour, joyful radical—and, finally, a man who tried to mirror Christ.
We’ll also step into the Chesterton Radio Listening Room, where you can hear the Ave Maria Hour dramatization St. Francis of Assisi and Chesterton’s complete St. Francis of Assisi in three parts.
Keep the Little Station on the air: Chesterton Radio is listener-supported. If these programs, stories, prayers, and old broadcasts are worth having around, please consider supporting our work.
