St. Francis of Assisi | Lambs Among Wolves: Battle Unto Death

Happy Feast Day, St. Francis of Assisi—and happy 800th anniversary!

Gather your family, and in this story, follow Francis as he faces a ferocious wolf, crosses enemy lines to preach the Gospel to the Sultan of Egypt, celebrates the birth of Jesus with a living nativity scene, and endures great suffering, including the stigmata.

What does it mean to be a lamb among wolves? How did St. Francis win the battle to remain loving and faithful, even through suffering? Come discover the courage, joy, and deep love of Jesus that shaped the life of this remarkable saint.

If you have time together tonight, share with each other:

• If you could have any wild animal as a pet, what would you choose, and what ridiculous trouble do you think it would cause in your house?

• What do you think the Sultan admired about Francis? What do you admire about him?

St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!!
