St. Francis of Assisi, Gregory IX, Friars Minor, canonizationAbstract
In the papal letter “Mira circa nos”, published on the occasion of the canonization of Francis of Assisi in July 1226, Gregory IX, using many references to biblical figures and events, presented to the believers some selected elements of his spiritual profile. These elements not only provided insight into the profile of the new saint but, also by referring to the community of Friars Minor he had founded, marked out for them a well-defined direction of activity in the Church. This article analyzes and describes two very characteristic biblical references by means of which Gregory IX presents St. Francis as a zealous preacher, reformer and apostle sent by God to work in the Church, leading others along the path of salvation. The references to the workers of the eleventh hour from Jesus’ parable and to the biblical sisters Rachel and Leah to strongly emphasize the value and need of apostolic life, read in the context of the Church’s ongoing reform and the texts of earlier authors, show a clear trace of the Holy See’s policy toward the order founded by Francis.
