Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the very early days of the Franciscan Order, Brother Leo, a priest of Assisi, joined Francis of Assisi and became his close companion. Brother Leo, often performing the duties of a secretary, would offer Mass for those of the group who, like Francis, were not ordained to the priesthood. Along with two other early friars, Leo is believed to have written a collection of accounts of their experiences with Francis. Brother Leo Remembers Francis is a fictionalized tale of life with Francis, presenting events that might have happened and words that might have been spoken -- and a Francis that might have been. This book is a companion to The Autumn of Saint Francis of Assisi, also by Roderic Petrie, O.F.M. Father Roderic, himself an itinerant preacher, takes us on a journey through the Italian towns and hills where Francis and Leo lived and walked. Through the voice of Brother Leo we come to know how Francis was called to rebuild the Church, how he created the first Christmas crib at Greccio and how he received the stigmata, the imprint of Jesus Christ's wounds.
