Book II Francis - Francis shares what he can


Francis' heart melted that moment. He was carrying a bag full of party food to share with his family. He reached in and pulled out two loaves of fresh baked bread. But, he went unnoticed by the fighting pair. They were tangled in a ball of ferocity. Then, as if by some miracle, one was thrown across the alley and Francis stepped quickly between them. He offered his loaves and suddenly the fight was over

Each man grabbed for the loaf nearest to themselves. Francis began to actually feel their hunger. He reached into his coat pocket and offered them each a coin; enough for each to buy enough food for the next week. One man fell to his knees thanking Francis over and over again. The other began to weep uncontrollably. Francis wept with him.


Then Francis did something incredible.
