Book Meetup: Eager to Love - Exploring the Spirit of Francis of Asiisi

📍 Christ’s Pieces Park, Cambridge
🕕 Wednesday | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Join us for a reflective summer evening in the park as we gather to discuss Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi by Richard Rohr. Together, we’ll explore the radical simplicity, joy, and Gospel-centered life of one of the most beloved saints in history.
Francis of Assisi was both deeply traditional and quietly revolutionary—a man who turned away from wealth and power to walk the narrow path of love and humility.

Through Rohr’s eyes, we discover Francis not just as the gentle saint surrounded by animals, but as a spiritual rebel whose life remains profoundly relevant today.
We’ll talk about:

• What it means to truly “let go” in a world obsessed with control
• Francis’s bold challenge to structures of privilege
• How his legacy invites us into a deeper, freer love

Whether you’ve read the whole book, part of it, or are just curious about Francis and Rohr’s teachings, you are warmly welcome. Bring a blanket or fold-up chair. Let’s make space for conversation.
