@jade_amor37: #christiantiktok #Catholic #Jesus #saints The story of St. Francis of Assisi and his embrace of a man with leprosy is a powerful lesson in transforming fear and disgust into deep compassion and love. Before his spiritual conversion, Francis lived a wealthy and comfortable life. Like most people of his time, he felt a strong physical repulsion and horror toward lepers, who were shunned and forced to live outside city walls. One day, while riding his horse near Assisi, Francis came face-to-face with a leper. Instead of turning away in disgust as he normally would, he was moved by grace. Francis dismounted his horse, walked up to the man, and gave him a tender kiss and an embrace. In his own testament, Francis wrote that what previously nauseated him was suddenly transformed into a profound sweetness of soul and body. He came to see that in embracing the outcast, he was truly embracing Christ.
