Christianity is a mysterious faith. Some of these mysteries can be described with Scripture or doctrine, but others can only be experienced. Those graced with these experiences, these intimate glimpses of God, are called mystics.

Fr. Murray Bodo's sensitive guidance leads us into the heart of what these mystics have expressed about God and how their insight can deepen our own experience of the boundless mystery of a loving God.

This updated and expanded edition includes new chapters on St. Clare and St. Bonaventure.

Ordained Ministry

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.
