St Francis- Patron of Ecology
St Francis has been honored by the church as the patron of ecology. The way he cared for nature and the gentle love he showed for all animals and people has given him this tittle. He used to stop on his journeys and talk to the birds and wolves, these thing were as important as people to him. He saw that everything was made in the image of God and they are all as important as each other. If everyone thought like this today the world would be better, nothing hurt or endangered, St Francis having this idea about nature as had a big influence on people and the church because it teaches us to look out for nature.
St Francis once stopped on one of his journeys and said "My brothers, birds, you should praise your creator" (book of saints) this again shows St Francis appreciation fro what God has made and he thought that the birds should even have thanks.All of this compassion for people and animals got St Francis this name.
