Both Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi recognized the importance of what happened at the cross as a model for Christian life.
Those few friends and family members who stayed behind and perhaps risked their own lives for the sake of their friend and Lord have denied themselves to follow Jesus.
Paradise, or the kingdom, is also a reality that is not off in some distant future, but is, as Jesus says, here “with me today.”
After Francis’ death, Bonaventure will talk about the “transformative power of love.” Love is what moved the heart and mind of the saint from Assisi, and it is love that is the greatest force for change and good in our world.
The love of Jesus Christ that leads to his willing embrace of the crucified earthly destiny that appeared before him is both a model for how we are called to love and a revelation of God’s self-offering of control out of love.
