Steve Paulson prepared this report on Saint Francis of Assissi and his continuing influence in the modern world. Francis was an Italian mystic who lived 800 years ago, was a peace broker during the Crusades, and is the patron saint of animal lovers. Actress Sarah Day reads selections from Valerie Martin's novel, Salvation. And we hear a lot of location sound recorded where Francis lived in Italy.
