St. Francis of Assisi

For my Confirmation, I chose St. Francis of Assisi as a young adult he considered himself as a sinner. His father was a man of business and the last thing he wanted from his son was a man of God. Growing up in his life, he was treated like a king and people never minded on what trouble he caused and some people loved him as he spent his nights in wild parties. After his young life, he met a biographer and explained everything and Francis himself said, "I lived in sin" during that time.

One day he was walking through the countryside and came across a leper. He jumped down from his horse and kissed the hand of the leper. Soon after, his peace was returned and was humble again. Francis was filled with joy and felt the Holy Spirit in him. He turned back to the leper for his last waved but before he could raise his hand the leper has disappeared. From then on he always looks upon it as a test from God. His life was changed and that’s why I chose him as he turned into a humble man from a selfish man.
