St. Francis at the Frick Collection
Meet St. Francis, who’s in the middle of receiving a…um…complicated divine visitation. This wealthy young party lover and man about town gave it all up to live a more meaningful life and lead others to embrace self-sacrifice, love nature, and encourage peace.  In today’s episode we find out how his spiritual devotion led to this rather mixed blessing and why he’s one of the most popular saints.  If you want to follow along, you can find it at here on the Frick Collection’s site.
