Francis began studying as a little boy and afterwards his father sent him to serve in the military. But when he was 20 years old, Francis contracted a rare disease, similar to leprosy, from which he was miraculously cured.  He then dedicated his life to God and began studying theology and helping those who were sentenced to death. Sometime later, he founded the Congregation of the Minor Clerics Regular, who join prayer with an active life.

Can you have a good balance between your daily chores and your life of prayer? Do you dedicate time to pray every day?
