Go on a spiritual pilgrimage to Assisi with Fr. Murray Bodo.

Enter Assisi takes you on a journey through the gates of the city, where you will discover in your own life the way to follow Jesus as St. Francis did. The walls of the medieval town surround a place where your imagination can explore spiritual holy ground.

Picture the daring midnight journey of St. Clare through the streets to the Moiano gate and down to St. Mary of the Angels, where Francis and his brothers welcomed her into a new way of life. Spend time in the caves of the Carceri, reflecting on the gift of solitude. Meet twentieth-century residents of Assisi who have absorbed the Franciscan spirit and seek to impart it to others.

Fr. Murray Bodo draws on over three decades of leading pilgrimages in Assisi to bring the home of St. Francis to life in the words of a poet and spiritual director.

Fr. Murray Bodo, O.F.M., is a Franciscan priest, poet, and one of the most beloved spiritual writers in the Franciscan tradition. A friar for more than six decades, he has served as a teacher, writer-in-residence, and for many years led summer pilgrimages to Assisi, immersing pilgrims in the world of St. Francis and St. Clare. His dozens of books include Clare: A Light in the Garden, The Way of St. Francis, and collections of poetry — but he is best known for Francis: The Journey and the Dream, the lyrical life of St. Francis that has moved readers for over fifty years and sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

Ascension is proud to publish Francis: The Journey and the Dream for a new generation, making Fr. Bodo’s poetic masterpiece on the saint of Assisi available through its Ascension author collection.
