sky Road

The film is made up of several story clips concatenated, comment on the impressive shots.
1. Going to Rome in the heavy rain: The picture of hiding from the rain under the unroofed wall is unforgettable, and can be called "the saint under the rain wall"
2. The kind monk who donates all his clothes to the poor: the heart is pure and hopeless Medicine, the second time he gave clothes, he said: Francis forbid me to give clothes, but if you ripped them off me, I would not refuse.
3. The old monk who left home: It is a little bird that jumps carefree in the forest.
4. Sister Claire's visit: I can't forget the eyes of St. Francis and St. Clair who looked at each other. There was no selfishness in them, but the satisfaction of God's grace. The voiceover said: The people of Arthurs saw the flaming horizon, they ran to the Church of Our Lady, thinking there was fire there, and the sky shone with the words of Claire and Francis, red with the love of God.
5. Obtaining pig’s trotters for sick monks: It fully reflects the simplicity of the monks (not pedantic) and the simplicity of farmers (not sophistication).
6. Encountering a leper on the road: a very moving paragraph, there is no speech in the whole paragraph, only Francis's crying at the end. God, how merciful you
are Never forget his keenness and relentlessness, as well as his irresistible smile, which embodies the power of God.
8. "How to experience happiness": "Lion, my brother, the little lamb of God, even if we can make the blind see again, the lame stand again, cast out all demons, and make the deaf hear , dumb people speak, and come back to life, these will not be true happiness, even if we can speak like angels and know the secrets of the heart, these can not constitute perfect happiness, even if we can foresee the future and understand the secrets of nature, These are not perfect happiness, and even if we convert all people to Christ, it will not bring us perfect happiness" - "Brother, where is the real perfect happiness?" - "Oh brother Leon, God's Little Lamb, we have endured all of this for the sake of our worthy God, and this is true and perfect happiness. Because the most important gift of Jesus Christ to his servants is to conquer ourselves and endure all evil and suffering. It is perfect happiness.”
9. Choose the path: the old friar spins for a long time and is unwilling to fall. It has a profound meaning and a solemn meaning. When he is finally willing to give up and fall to the ground, it is the moment when our life ends a journey and begins another journey. At this time, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, and the road turns to the sky on both sides. From then on, the prodigal son turns his back, finds his way back, and embarks on the real road of life—the heavenly road that God pointed out to us.
Amen, rest in peace
