Gino Vanzillotta O.M A combination of poetry, history, biography, and religion, Poetry #9: St. Francis of Paola portrays the humble, yet fantastic life of this man of God. A brilliant diplomat, St. Francis did much good for both church and state. Hermit almost by instinct, he perfectly followed orders from above. Humble and poor, he was rich and powerful in God’s wisdom. He was able to unravel intricate situations and bring about unexpected, but reasonable solutions. Nothing would stop him from being good to all. Several of his portents were believed miracles, many were proven such.
