St. Francis's Devotion to the Saints
"The saints and their remembrance were for Francis like a burning coal, which enkindled in him a divine fire. He venerated with most fervent devotion all the Apostles and especially Peter and Paul because of the fervor of their love for Christ." --St. Bonaventure, Major Life, 9:3
Seeing how others, like Peter and Paul, lived out their lives in Christ can be an encouragement to us, especially when we see they, too, struggled at times. But more importantly, we see their victories.
