This movie is a life changing one. Definitely made me a better person and to become a nurse!

This movie in the 1970s caused me to have a spiritual kundalini awakening experience like no other. That night after the movie the whole evening was full of wonders few would believe. At any time in my life since that experince if I hear the music or see these clips my vibration immediately goes up and bursts through whatever is holding me down. I am now 74 and it still works, what a gift of a lifetime.

Its jsut impossible for me to watch any part of this movie without tearing up.

This film, the music Donovan wrote for it, and the life of Francesco d'Assisi have inspired and comforted me for many years. I'm glad to see this on KZfaq.

This song still gets me through the times I just want to give up...💜

Dear St Francis, help us in our time of need, protect the homeless animals and children in need.

I love you Francis . Really your precious in the sight of God .❤💞🥰

Nothing is more terrifyingly awesome than the power of a true believer.

it is one of the most beautiful movies ever made! The message is life changing!

I'm an Athiest, but there are many lessons to be learned from St. Francis

I watched this movie in 2003, It still inspires me and melts my heart each time I revisit it...especially the songs in the movie.

Graham Faulkner's sub texting (his facial expressions especially his eyes) are phenomenal. It is a shame he all but quit acting after his role in this movie

I swear. Franco Zeffirelli almost paints with a camera in his films. A true artist.

This scene made me cry so much! It takes so little to be happy....

This movie deserves to be shown again 🛐😇

When I'm tempted to sin I only have to watch this and the temptation disappears!

This whole movie, with songs, with scenery, with simplicity, with love and with real commitment to the poor and to the Lord...it spoke volumes to me then. Will it continue to do so? I hope!

This can also be used to heal. Jesus used the laying on of hands to heal many, along with many other saints. It's just being deeply sensitive to the owns body. What we put our attention on grows. If we focus on our perfected spirit and realize it then others around us will be healed by our example. No words really need be spoken. St. Francis said himself, "I used to believe in words."

Remembering this noble and humble servant of God on the day of his feast, 4 October 2016. Many thanks to you, Brother, for your humble service, love and courage in all you did during your time on this earth!

I am so blessed to have been born on his feast day, October 4th!

Before I was not Christian but I became after baptisms in the Catholic Church. And now I go to the Franciscan church.

I love this film, I love St. Francis' heart. Whenever I get stressed or a have a headache I often listen to this, and feel much better.

The Little Church - Donovan. If you want your dream to be, Build it slow and surely, Small beginnings, greater ends, Heartfelt work grows purely If you want to live life free, Take your time - go slowly, Do few things but do them well, Simple joys are holy Day by day, stone by stone, Build your secret slowly, Day by day, you'll grow too, You'll know heavens glory.

I visited San Damiano once, as the snow was falling. I would love to go back one more time.

I love the film and the music since i was a child

The demons cower in fear amidst the presence of such a great saint. St. Francis pray for us!

We don't know what Catholic church would be like without St Francis of Assisi

I have se en the movie brother son sister moon probably 40 times

To Me Saint Francis is one of a kind!! I love his work and love his love of animals and Nature!

The story of St Francis of Assisi,captivated many hearts to follow God:summon to live the vows of poverty,to possess God entirely.St francis renounced all comforts of life,in loosing all,he found thie famous franciscan order that produces many saints to holy mother church.I love this movie so much,all the simple songs inspired me to run away from materialism,in order not to let my soul be drowned by useless wordly cares.

Such a magnificent, beautiful movie!

He always taking my chest's stone to the right place

"Day by day, stone by stone,. Build your secret slowly."

In our age we get so distracted by what is outside of our selves. To be spiritual is to have one's awareness deeply established in one's true self and not caught up with the external world, not to identify with what is outside and confuse that with what we really are. God is within us and our purpose is to realize our union with God within ourselves. This is pure bliss and the source of everything good in life. All good comes from God, all evil comes from believing we are separated from him.

若きフランチェスコの純粋な信仰は万人の心に響く…そんな姿を現しているのが、この映像とメロディーである。

Sorry for my little rant,but I just finished a wonderful meditation and prayed for a long while after for God to open my heart to His divine love, so that I may become an instrument of His will and express His grace and compassion unto the world. Two doves came to me when I finished my meditation to encourage me and let me know that God is listening.The more we learn to pray with all our heart, the more we may find fulfillment in life and have more powerful prayers.What you give is what you get

This movie and music has resonated in me from the first time I saw it. It instantly makes me realize how in the pursuit of "everyday life", we are so pathetically off the track. It's as if someone said "on this earth you can make heaven or Hell", and we have chosen Hell.

Beutiful simplicity. Wise words in the music.

OMG !!! I Love This Movie !!!

Very noble , very humble .

My first son will called Francisco.

Unspeakably beautiful!

Francis puts most Christians to same imagine all of us working for Gods kingdom like this

Beautiful song... we should follow this words once in a while...

偶々この素晴らしい映画を観て、聖フランチェスコという偉大な人を知りました…😔本当に不思議な導きだと思います…😊

Bernard is good-looking！ Clothes and the armor of this movie are also wonderful.

Such an inspiring song. I just love it

this song always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside :)

I wanted nothing more than to watch this movie hugging my beloved Thomas 💚💙🥺✨

This film is so wonderful... and this song... so beautiful, a pure gem... Thank you

Sang this song at Szentendre Skansen's 50th jubilee party, with the workers' choir. That performance has determined a lifetime artistical inspiration for me. Looking at the lyrics, I wondered "yet I haven't noticed how universal message it carries, why on Earth no one has ever asked for a blessing on it among yoga people, to use it as a bhajan, as it happened to The Sutherland Brothers' "I Am Sailing" - and the continuation of this thought, was the call from inside that THE COMPLETE MOVIE IS SHOUTING FOR A HINDI VERSION. Meanwhile, recognitions on similarities between my personal life experiences and the way Francesco's life is portrayed, have confirmed that this translation work and organising the dubbing, is an inevitable mission. Childlike, pantheistic sense of life - OK. Various artistical appeals - OK. Appeal to rewake lost treasures - OK. Appeal to charity - OK. Illness(es) opening the eyes on the truth - OK. Conflict with the greedy, shopaholic, Francophobiac, aggressive malignant narc parent of same gender - OK. Presence of a pampering female elder, in conflict with the aggressive narc one - OK (on my side, this used to be my late maternal granny). Icon-shock at a holy place - OK. Being targeted by either secular, either cleric officials - OK (the latter I met on Hindu base). Sudden influence on an official which warmed his heart - OK (it's been an Indian embassy consular at whose place I did the cleanup once). Now I'm working on the Hindi translation. I'll always bless my Hindi teacher Dr Mária Négyesi's name, who's been doing the free Hindi language course at Amrita Sher-Gil Cultural Centre (Budapest, Hungary) for 20+ years, not knowing that some enquirers who want to learn Hindi out of scholar circles, might get a handhold for life-changing experiences from her enthusiasm, efforts and adherence.

Greatest film ever made! (Second greatest is Gibson's Passion of the Christ :) )

I love this movie.

I love this film.

this song really sends shivers down my spine... so beautiful, thanks for upload

I have found this book really moving. Especially the part where he kisses the leper. It is a book worth reading once, if not many times.

thanks, I love this song. From Spain

Thanks for putting this video on, great film :)

iTS ONE OF MY ALL TIME GREAT

the best scene in the film....dark, moving, medieval, atmospheric......more of the film should've been like this (rather than the pretty flowers stuff)

Lemme imbibe the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. I love him sooooooooo much!

Very nice movie + 🎶🎶

I've loved this on first sight 10years ago.

Beyond extraordinary film!!!! Beyond extraordinary music!!!!! This film was done ten years before i was born!

My favorite song and favorite picture

Estuve en La Porciúncula Cristina y he acariciado con mis manos cada detaLLe de esta hermosa Capilla Cristina Cristina Sebastian de Viña del Mar país Chile

I can´t avoid to feel like shit every time i see this movie... I´m nothing. Cry every single time...

eu não sou da religião católica,nem de nenhuma religião, mas essa música tem uma mensagem boa e positiva, de algo construtivista, não importa se é de religião e sim o que a música passa

SUPERB

ESTE FILME É MARAVILHOSO, QUE PUDER O ASSISTA NA ÍNTEGRA, VALE A PENA...

I love this movie szene. I am old now and feel like Francesco: all these things which were important for me in those days are today not. Other priorities are now very important for me: love and to be loved. There are no other things for me anymore.

Just amazing. Thanks!

wonderful song

Mein Lieblingslied mit vielen Erinnerungen.

Thank you for sharing this is surely one of the most impressive scenes in cinemas, which touches me everytime from new, when I see it

Thank you... I´m still trying... But... So much `Selfish Miseries` to get rid off...

Still love this song 💙 2022

ASSIM COMO JESUS, SÃO FRANCISCO ERA HUMILDE E CONVERTEU MUITAS PESSOAS...PRECISAMOS DE MUITOS FRANCISCOS NOS DIAS ATUAIS...

“Poverty is the Royal Virtue.” St Francis

Wow, thanks man! I've been wondering about this for a long time. This really helped me. All my gratitude is to you :)

wow thats is great will be praying for you that you rebuild the spiritual church as well!!

Deus Meus et Omnia

Our consciousness/awareness and God lies within the heart area of our body. We must learn to fallow the path back to the source of our true heart. The mind wasn't meant to decide what is true or what to do. Our heart or God already intuitively knows everything and should be the decider. Hearing the intuition of this heart is not easy in our present age. Through deep prayer and meditations we may regain this ability. Essentially we will spontaneously and effortlessly begin to express Gods will.

beautiful film can we still get it on internet

This is so trippy

If you want your dream to be, Build it slow and surely. Small beginnings greater ends. Heartfelt work grows purely. If you want to live life free, Take your time go slowly. Do few things but do them well. Simple joys are holy. Day by day, stone by stone, Build your secret slowly. Day by day, you'll grow, too, You'll know heaven's glory.

Wondergul

Oh dear, was it this cold with snow and were some barefoot in it? My soul aches with compassion. This seems to be the film version I watched as a highly sensitive and traumatized child. Was not able to watch many movies, even made for children. The soul purity of this one resonated with my soul and let it be in sufficient peace/positive emotion to enjoy it. Where can the full movie be seen, please? Anyone knows? For free; I do not have budget for films. Thanks for the upload.

@Somaya26 ...you'll know heavens glory.

Τρέλα με κορδέλα ο Φραγκούλης...

The yogi's of India use ash or dirt and cover their bodies with them to resist the cold or heat. The pores being clogged helps. One's body can also develop natural resistance to cold if it doesn't depend on clothing also. However the more advanced yogis can generate heat from the power of the spirit they've realized inside them. Personally, certain meditations I do produce a whole lot of heat and same with devotional singing to God and that's true for the Indian and Christian chants/songs.

'heart-felt' work grows purely...

@Somaya26 Thanks for writing the letter of this song.

me too :) one of my favourites...always moves me...so simple, so beautiful. S.Francesco and S.Chiara were two of the greatest saints! x

Can someone tell me how did St. Francis deal with the cold in his feet and hands? Wouldn't he get frostbite? It must have gotten below zero in Assisi since they get harsh winters there.

Am I the only one who thinks Francisco reminds me of Gilligan?

With someone of this group, this never I'll be happen. This will be predicted, a lot of St. Peters in this case. But he predicted my birth too. He comes... =)

ik love Francesco from gianluca franciscan out flandre bruges Europa

{ Part 2 ] If you want your dream to be Build it slow and surely. Small beginnings, greater ends, Heartfelt work grows purely. If you want to live life free Take your time go slowly.
