Summary
Episode 52 - The Rich Man Who Didn't Turn
St Francis is the rich young man who didn't turn away sad. God invited St Francis, and his response was even more than his heart burning for the Lord — he was consumed. There was no going back.
He became more like Jesus, but without being less like Francis. He became more like Francis; not losing himself in God, but finding himself in God. The unique man that he is in the eyes of the Father, not just repeating the works of other saints.
Our hearts have such a capacity that we want more and more… which means that at some point, you leave behind some lesser goods. You develop a taste for a love that's greater, and that's a good thing. Francis didn't settle for anything less — and neither should you.
