Synopsis

Ask anyone who has been there Assisi is a special place. The events in the lives of Francis and Clare seem to have charged the very rocks with a power that can still be felt today. Our guide, Father Roch Niemier, is intimately acquainted with the places so close to the saints of Assisi Rocca Maggiore, San Damiano, the Porziuncola, San Rufino, La Verna, Greccio, Maddalena, the Piazza Comune and the streets of Assisi. His exploration of the spirituality of place makes even the armchair pilgrim understand the meaning of these locales, and provides an unforgettable remembrance for those who have made the journey themselves.

Review:

...a practical guide to inner transformation. In the ancient tradition of pilgrimage, Roch Niemier leads us into the sacred places of Saint Francis and shows how we can be transformed by contemplating the supernatural events that happened there and allowing ourselves to draw upon and put into practice the deep spirituality these Franciscan places hold for us. --Murray Bodo, O.F.M., author, Francis: The Journey and the Dream and Landscape of Prayer
