The best web blog so far…
St Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in 1209, had no theological training. He was a layman, born rich. But when he gave away his possessions and embarked on a career of charity and good deeds, his father disowned him. Bad daddy!!! 
yeah bad daddy! and good for st. francis….
st. francis s truly a good person dun s father nya i cant say dat he s a really bad father maybe there’s deeper reason why he did dat
ayan ang hirap sa mga daddy,maxadong strict..kung anong sama ng daddy ni st.francis,ganon naman xa kabait…nararapat xang tularan..
His father values differently from his son
napaka illogical naman nung tatay niya, ganun pa man siguro sa mga ganung magulang dapat iniunawa na lang sila.
…c daddy selfish bitch….hehe..but we should not judge his father..baka wla lng tlga s nature nung father niya ung mag paka martir..hehe..
sometimes..there was this kind of situation n parent and child have different views in life..at mrmi tlagang gnyang cases..what we should learn from this article is that…whatever religion we belong..let us not forget to make good deeds towards our fellows..(“,)
What St.Francis did is something that every father should be proud of,,,but his father is such a stupid father for disowning his son for doing such a great thing…but no matter what..St.Francis is such a great model to every person like me…
kanya-kanyang trip lang un..pero at the end lam naman nating mahal pa rin nung dad nia c st.francis..parang sa parable of the prodigal son,inspite of everything,mahal parin nung tatay nia..besides,if ndi cguro nangyari un,malamang,ndi ganun ang mangyayari sa buhay ni st.francis..at ndi natin xa makikilala at ang kanyang pananampalataya..un un..
may ganun palang tatay? buti na lan hindi ganun ang tatay ko
many would view the dad as somewhat bad, walang konsiderasyon at kung anu-ano pang masamang pwedeng ihusga sa kanya…yes lets concede to the fact na ayon sa sentences na yan, the dad has been so inconsiderate because he doesnt understand that st. francis did that for the charity sake, however did we question why the dad did that? the reason behind it? people easily judge others without asking “why” (or in short not being rational to it). if the dad reason out negatively or unfair tsaka pa lang tayo mghusga but if the answer is like “he doesn’t want his son to do that because those possesions might create larger profit therefore creating bigger and continous donations to charity”(kapraktikalan lng b).. well does he has a point or not?
however i concede to the fact na may mga taong masyadong pinpersonal ang mga desisyon ng isang tao, to the extent na itatakwil na niya to, in the end of the day what matters here is the respect for ones decision and to understand it. bottom line kase whatever that person decides on his life siya ang mg-su2fer ng consequences.
I would like to see the story sa dalawang side.. Fisrt side ay sa kay St. Francis and the second his Father’s side..
Many would admire St. Francis, na napaka bait nya to sacrifice his rich life and to live a modest life.. To admire his sufferings na nakapagpatatag sa kanya and other characteristics.I think, he desrved those compliments and praises sa lahat ng mga naranasan nya..
On the other hand, many would hate his father.. na masama itong ama.. selfish at kung anu anu pang tawag.. Pero di ba, siguro my reason sya kung bakit ganun yung ginawa at inasal nya..
so hindi pala nagmana si st. francis sa tatay niya..
yeah..he is a bad daddy nga..
aanhin ang pera kapalit ng tunay na kaligayahan…tamaan na ang mga mayayaman…share ur blessing!
too bad for his father st. francis is a disappointment to him
lessons i have learned:
a. you cannot please everybody- if you please everybody, be of your senses, there must be really wrong to you..
b. to pursue one’s desire is to be ready to face hindrances that would come on your way
c.just like iron sharpens iron, sometimes those whom we considered alike are those people who will dislike us…so, they are the one who will make us better, if we could handle them in a good way..
-i am inspired! sir jan had made me so! hehehe
i am not used to speak flattery, i just can’t withhold good things to those who deserve it.
nakakatawa naman ung comment ng isa??uo nga naman,kung pinalago pa un,e di habang buhay sana siyang nakatulong sa mga mhihirap diba???ewan ko ba…baka nman sugapa lang tlga ung tatay nia?
oo nga bad ung daddy nia … he.. he…he.., d pla totoo ung like father like son…,, wala lng!!!!!!
dont be influence by those evil around you..believe in your passion..teka mali yata previous spelling ko ng believe..hehehe….
aNg swERTeeeeeeeeh q pla d gNun papa q…jejeje
pro db mlay ntin joke lng un ng dadi ni st.francis db..?jejeje
bad talaga ang daddy nya.. buti na lang hindi nagmana si st.Francis sa kanyang daddy.. hehehe
bad daddy?!..yuh right..pero hindi din tama na mag judge agad tayo..
bad nga c daddy..pero ok lng un mlki nman mai22long nun s charity..
i don’t know why his father got mad when he gave all his money up for charity. but what really don’t get is why he gave up his money in the first place. i won’t, at least not all. . .
What his father did cguro ay paraan na din cguro na Diyos iyon para mas maging dedicated sya in his career..malamang nakatulong pa ky St. Francis iyon…
ansama tlg nung tatay nya!! to disown a child for a father
is something bad. sana kht ndi nya gusto ung ginawa ng anak nya, sinuportahan n lng sana xa.

once you serve God, you must give to Him everything no matter what the cost………
kahit kailan hindi alam ng ibang tao kung saan ka sasaya…ikaw at ikaw lang may alm… at ikaw at ikaw lang din ang mag makakaranas ng konsekwensya sa iyong mga aksyon… iilan bang tao ngayon sa mundong to na sasaya kung may napasaya o natulungan sya… at handang kalimutan ang sarili… hay……
my nakwento ang guro ko sa isa sa mga naging studyante nya… pagkagising daw nung studyante nya my nakalagay daw sa kwarto nya na ito” ITO NA ANG HULING ARAW MO RITO SA MUNDO”.nagtawanan ang buong klase pati ako…hehehe… nag tanong ung katabi ko mam siraulo ba ung studyante nyo… ang sabi ng teacher ko para daw ipaalala sa sarili nya na kayalangan nya na gawin lahat ng mabuti na kaya niyang ibigay upang sa gayon walng pagsisi sya mararamdaman pag dating ng araw na yon…. dun ko napagtanto kami pala ang SIRAULO…
isipin mo nga naman kung ikaw yung tatay tapos lahat ng kayamanan ibanigay lang lahat ng anak mo sa iba? cno nga naman ang hindi manggagalaiti nun? hehehe.. ganun talaga yung paraan ni st.francis ng pagpapakita ng love for Christ..
nakakalungkot talaga ang mga magulang ang perception sa mga anak ay goldmine.
Bakit din ntin sisisihin tatay ni st. Francis??? cguro nGkataon lng na mgkaiba ang pespektibo nLa sa buhay dB?? anu bang mLay nea qng mapasama c St. Francis dB?? panu qng eventually eh maabuso c st. Francis?? we can’t really judge them kc nDe nMn ntn alam ang totoong story db???
yeahey!!!!! franciscan ako nung high school…. bait ng patron saint namen ano??? too bad, konti na lang ganon ngaun…
wawa naman si st. framcis d suportanta ng daddy nia…
nakasama nia kaia sa heaven ang dearest daddy nia??? hmmmn….????
we must not say that St. Francis’ father is the antagonist in his life… maybe God had just used St. francis’ father as an instrument for the fulfillment of St. Francis’ real purpose of living. Like judas and Jesus. What if there is no Judas to betray Jesus… will the salvation be made possible???
his grea!!!!! sana gni2 ren mga kpitalista at mga mayayaman sa bansa….thats all!!! tank u!!!!
bket ganun ung daddy un bad influence cia!!!!
kung alam ni St. Francis n tama cia go for it!!!!!!!!
masama ung daddy nia!!!!!!!!!
wg u rin ciang kilalanin bilang ama!hehehe
dont judge the buk by its cover…
perhaps the dad never taught that his son would be a saint and that the whole world will recognized the great doings of francis.. (francis, close?)
well.. the father in the story has a good reason to disown him.. ya know?
well. masyadong materialistic ung tatay nia. mukhang pera! sana hndi lht ng father eh katulad ng tatay ni st.francis,. dapat iniisip rin nila ung tlgang gusto ng anak nila at suportahan nila. maganda nmn ung intensyon ni st.francis eh! tama ba??
la tau mga2wa don…d nmn lhat like father like son eh!hahahahahaha…
hehe. . .
it is better to give than to recieve ehehe. . .
if yuo’re living at the expense of others, then animal k!!! hehe
well thats it! yung ibang saint din ganun ang ginawa. . they give up their profession & follow god’s will!
. . pero tma nmn yung ginawa nya!
thats life…. kapag may good, my bad! hindi lahat good at hindi lahat pareho kahit na magkadugo pa kayo. and maybe st. franci’s daddy, brought out the saint in him…
i think his father disowned him because he hadnt just realize the nature of his son as an philanthropic person or maybe because the assets that was given away to the charities came from the dugo’t pawis of his parents?? dont you think so? –gumawa ng sariling storya??hehe
remember: parents are parents, they do think that they know what could be best for their offsprings.. (sometimes, they always do)
but im nothing against to what st.francis’ do..
I can’t say that St. Francis’ daddy is bad. I guess they have different views in life!
parang misunderstanding lang…hehehehe
if he didn’t gave all his possessions and his didn’t father disowned him, will we know such great person as St. Francis? Every good deed will be exchange by great gifts,maybe not on the way we wish for, but on what HE thinks that is good for us
haay…..ang bad ni daddy i hate him….joke lng
4 sure meh reason ung dad nya kya gnon……..pero ewan koh lng din sir huh…….
bad daddy for a boy who was now blessed and worship by some people of the world the is now with the glory of our Lord….
with this, i got curious of his biography,,
maybe his father has it’s own reason di natin alm.. pero hanga ako kay st. francis he became a great man,,
that is only one example na pwede ka pa rin magexcel sa isang bagay without school, school is not the only institution of learning
go!! go!! franciscans.. if there’s any saint that i fully admire, its tata iko, as we called him inj my alma matter.. i must say that i’m very much familiar with his work, life and love life..haha!! we similaty, we both love pets..
onga bad daddy,,ang baet n nga nung anak tpos dinisowned p,,ammff..
do we have this religous order in the philippines? and is this the same st. francis ng st. francis square? i just got curious.,
di bale na itinakwil xa na tatay nya,mas lumapit naman xa sa diyos
_if im not mistaken si st. francis ang nagsabi ng:
“the measure of love is to love without measure”
nasbi nia cguro un bec. of his dad..
st. francis of what??!!!
there are a lot of st. francis
hehe….
we can’t blame the father….
it’s just those times when we need to turn around and face other things in our life….
hehe….
oo nga pasaway yung tatay niya…wala naman syang magagawa eh…kung dun masaya ung anak nya…
uhm I think that there is no school for becoming a saint.. depende sa tao kung anong decisions ang gagawin nya..
As with regards sa da nya, I think that he might have reasons for doing such. After all, in every person there lies the dark and the light, it is in his own choice when to choose the other from the latter.
buti nlng d ganun dad q xe wla nmn aqng ippamigay n kyamanan.. . hehe.. .
kidng aside, condemning the father for the mere fact that he disowned his son for the good deeds of st. francis wud be considerable.
however, i do assume that st. francis had long forgave his own father for such mal treatment.
kawawa naman si st.francis pero ok lang un saint naman na xa ngaun…hehehe…
andyan naman c God….. very proud s kanya! tama!
what money is worthy for?? bad yung daddy because he, St. francis just want to help others and serve God. it’s just a matter of setting your priorities.. he just did what his heart wants.
sons are born to surpass their father…
hehehe!!!
di lang siguro kinaya ng tatay nya ginawang sakripisyo ni st. francis
dpat lahat tau 2lad ni st.Francis..mga FRANCIS tlaga name,mbu2ti ang mga puso..katulad ng kakilala ko..
cguro nga maganda ung ginawa ni st. francis (malamang maganda un.. kaya nga siya naging saint eh) ako naiintindihan ko si daddy… tama lang na tumulong ka sa iba… pero wag mo kakalimutan ang sarili mo… magtira ka rin…. sa mga kokontra… punta na lang kayo dito sa bahay.. dito tayo magusap… hahahaha
go go go st. francis….o diba panalo ka ngayon atleast recognized ka sa buong mundo lalo na sa katolisismo, hayaan mo na si daddy KJ lang yan…hahaha
perhaps nahurt lang ung daddy nia dat tym..
di naman kailangan ng pag-aaral ng theology para magserve sa Lord…
like me…I am serving God by my own talent and discipline
andamot aman ni daddy….
feeling nia siguro madadala nia yung pera nila kahit san siya dalin ng buhay….haiiii..ang buhay nga naman…hindi nawawalan ng publema….
ok na sana kasi eh….kaso ung dadi niya….:’c
Sometimes we need to take the hard way in order to bring more good to the society. Had St. Francis never did what he had done, had he been contented with his richness and had he listened to his ‘bad daddy’, he may not have founded the Franciscan Religious Order which is very much respected world wide
… ouch sir!
masyado po akong tinamaan!!!
hahaha
..granting that there was a very good reason behind st. francis’ father disapproval on what he has done.. still.. wealth is not a good reason to dishonor your child specially if in the case of st. francis where he just believes that charity is a noble work.
favorite ko na tuloy si st. Francis
although hindi ako nanniniwala sa st….
..wow..am baet nman ni st. francis..he chose life in simplicity.. kya lng npka O.A ata n magtwakwil ka ng anak becos of dat wealth.. magkanu b un?? bayaran kuh nlng kya???hehehe
pero cguro nga di ganun ung mindset ng father nya.. wla ang heart to faith.. and money is the most sacred thing pra s knya.. so maccc b nten sya.. di nman porket mag ama cla.. same n ung philosophy nla s buhay..
he is truly good person!.,
i min truly good saint., xe tingin q wla namang masamang saint., dba?., hehehe
Sus!!! parang di naman tayo nasanay, ganun talaga mga mayayaman…
parang si Big Boy… gugustuhin ba niyang ipamigay ni little mikey yung mga kayaman nila?!!! cyempre hindi noh!!!!
yun nga lang kahit gawin yun ni little mickey hindi pa rin cya magiging santo.. hehehe
Bakit??? itanong nyo sa mga kabalen…. hehehe
…there are some point of our life that even our parents felt so disappointed in us…
i so admire st. francis for doing such thing. even he wasn’t able to pleased his biological father, atleast he followed JESUS.
if the wealth is the reason of his father,
well…i pity him.
before, i can’t really understand why the catholic apostles (i mean priests and nuns and etc) have to comply with the vow of poverty… but when i got to know the platonic principle, i now understand the logic behind the vow.. as according to plato, one must give away his other appetites or wants to give way and focus on his vocation….
ang pangit nung last sentence ….reprhase mode
as according to plato, one must forget or leave his other appetites or wants to give way and focus on his vocation
bad daddy nga!..
maganda yung ginawa ni st. francis.. yun na yun..
you don’t have to please everybody…your actions will be your responsibility..parents are like that pero at the end i bet his dad is proud of him so much..
ay ganun.. bait nmn.. pero dun sa dad.. d nmn cxa cguro masama. d lang tlga xa religious, tska iba cguro yung iniexpect nya para sa anak nya.. yun nga lang dapat inintindi nah lang tlga nya yung anak nya dba.. ^_^
i’ve knpwn this before as told by a cuz and sb nya sya ung isa s mga ntatandaan nya s mga saints ng catholics…..inc kasi….onga true sacrifice…..he deserves to be honored a saint
his father wants him to be a merchant but instead of following his father,francis choose to embark on a career of charity and good deeds..
hmmm st. francis(discontented?)
d nmn ako nni2wla n gnun tlaga ksama ung dad nya sa palagay ko eh d lang xa relihiyosong tao,pero khit gnun ung cnapit ni st. francis eh alam nmn ntn ung nging kpalit hgit pa sa isang byani ang turing ntn sa knya
the son has greater value than his dad…his dad was greedy and totally different from his own son..maybe he was an adopted child?=)
sa hindi nakakaalam c st.francis of assisi ung tinu2koy dun.. nde masyadong sikat ung ibang st.francis.. hehehe..
st.francis only proves his steadfast love with the lord never ceases, even his father rejected him because he gave away his possessions to the needy..
we must follow the example of st.francis by living the christian way… but i’m not saying we should also gave away all our possessions to the needy, but with simple acts of good deeds..
Tnx sa dad nia nging saint cia…..
Hehehehe
Kundi dhil dun la st francis……
umm..la tayo magagawa,nangyari na eh..haha.pero aus na rin un atleast nakatulong si st.francis..lage talagang may two-sides ang mga bagay-bagay..”give and take” lang yan ‘ika nga,nagkataon nagbigay na nga xa,kinuhanan pa xa..pero meron naman tayong tinatawag na rewards diba..na receive na ni st.francis ung kanya..
napaka-unreasonable nga naman ang ginawa ng tatay nya…masakit talaga para sa isang anak na mismong mga magulang mo ay di ka magawang suportahan sa mga bagay na gusto mong gawin sa buhay mo lalo na kung di mo naman iyon ikasasama…tsktsktsk…kungsakin nangyari iyon malamang maglayas ako…
best things in life is really for free!
for free!
for free!
misunderstanding lang yan between him and his dad..pero atleast saint si St. Francis dahil sa ginawa niyang mga good deeds..
di ko gagawin sa anak ko un kahit na anong mangyari…mahal ko anak ko at kahit anong mangyari anak ko pa rin yon..
baka may reason dad niya… pero after all, the story may not end at that… malay natin meron positive result yun.. hehehehehe…. st. na nga siya eh….
not all people are perfect…
our parents have their own way for us to look it positively even in the way of not good for the eye of the chlid..
that the question of motivation..
sana lahat na lang ng mga milyonaryo at bilyonayo sa mundo ngayon, katulad ni st francis of asisi
ipamigay na lang nila ang mga yaman nila nang walang pagsisisi…
naisip ko lang, tulad na lang ng accumulated wealth ni erap na hinahabol pa rin ng sandiganbayan..
200 million pesos… wow!, kararampot lang yon ng salapi nila…
ang pilipinas, less than 90 million lang ang populasyon..
sana binigyan na lang tayo ng isang milyon nang tig-iisa..
milyonaryo na sana tayong lahat… wala nang naghihirap…
200 minus 90 million equals 110 million…
kitams, may sobra pa, e di may savings pa sana ang gobyerno..
nakakainis lang talagang isipin.. nagpapakasasa ang iba sa pera at nahihiga sa salapi, pero ang iba, wlang matirhan…
si erap pa lang yon… paano na kaya ang mga pinakamamayang tao sa mundo, mga bilyonaryo.. na ang kabuuang yaman nila ay pinagsama-samang kita na ng mga bansang mahihirap…
sana lang talaga, gayahin nila si st. francis…
hindi sana sila kinamumuhian ng mga anti-kapitalista…
baka ginawa din silang mga santo ng iglesya katolika…
amen…
shonga nman nung father nea dpat mgng proud xa dub sa son nea kc abah! de biro ung gnwa nea nuh!
i mean dun sa son nea
.., s huLi, ikaw rN nmn an mgdDexisy0n!

Kahahanga hanga siya dahil nakaya niyang iwan ang kayamanan. Sabi nga nila ang pera ay mahalaga sa mundong ito. Money is a good servant but it is a bad master. Dahil sa pera madami ang handang gumawa ng masama sa kanila kapwa. Hindi niya hinayaan na marule ng pera ang pagkatao niya kung hindi nagserve siya sa mga tao. Iilan tao lang ang pwede gumawa nito, ang talikuran ang lahat. At di ko maisip na may father pala na kayang itkwil ang anak dahil sa mas ginusto nito ang magserve. Saludo ako sa iyo St. Francis!!!
Let’s take a look on the ader side, malay nio sobra siya mhal ng daddy niya at ndi niya m-take ung gnawa ng anak niya kc ung perang pnaghrpan niya n dpat si St. Francis an gumagamit e ibng tao un gumgas2s.. kya s sobrang glit nag-iba an takbo ng isip kya tinakwil siya. Pwede un db??
it was nice of him… maybe its one of the reasons on why he become a saint… i just hope that there will be a lot of “st. francis” in our present society nowadays especially with all the controversies our country is facing….
ahahahaha.. i cant blame his father.. alam ba nmn nung father na after ilan years i gglorify un anak nia… xmpre qng lhat alam na un di lht gnwa un gngwa ng mga saints.. d problem is we dont know wat wud happen and how history wud judge us…
too bad!
wlng kwenta father nya! instead n mgng proud wla lan..
grabe nmn c daddy..parents tlga oh oh..minsan mga ano eh..tsk tsk
talagang ganyan ang buhay, hindi lahat ng tao ay maiintindihan ka, kagaya ng istorya ni st. Francis na itinakwil ng amang mangangalakal dahil sa pinili nyang landas na di naaayon sa kagustuhan ng kanyang ama. huwag nating husgahan ang ama, isiupin na lang ninyo na kayo ang nasa kalagayan ng ama, papayagan nyo ba ang anak niyo na maghirap at magpakasakit para sa iba? papayagan nyo bang madungisan at libakin ang inyong anak na iyong pinalaking masagana sa lahat ng bagay?
Ngunit isipin din natin kung sakaling tayoy maging ganap na magulang, ang kagustuhan ng ating mga anak, tandaan na sila parin ang magdidisisyon sa kanilang buhay at tayo’y gabay lang sa kanilang paglaki at pagharap sa mundong malawak…
can’t remember the name of the Indian poet cited by Lualhati Bautista in the first part of her book Dekada ‘70. can’t also remember the exact words given to describe what should be the relationship of parents and their children. i think it goes something like “we, parents, only own the bodies of our children, not their minds. our job is to bring them to this world and raise them.” goes to show, that sometimes we have to let go and accept the fact that people have to go where they think they ought to go…
nkakairita naman un tatay nya, dun masaya un anak nu b paki nya?
hehehe…
life may bring us sorrows and hardships, but then, we are and must be the captain of our ship.. we must not blame fate..
at the end of the day, it’s still us…
iba tlaga ung paguugali b4..pero its nice to know na kht gnun ung ngyri..d nging hndrance un pra ipursue ni st francis ung mga ngawa nya for his fellow…isa c st francis sa pnkskat na saints…
…bad daddy nga…maybe inisip ng daddy n’ya n baka gamitin nang anak n’ya yung pera ng tatay n’ya….
…selfish lang talaga siguro yung daddy n’ya…
…hindi n’ya naman kasalanan na gano’ng field ang pinili nya…
…dapat nga suportahan pa sya nng tatay nya dahil hindi n magawa ang gano’ng bagay…
…dun sya masaya ehhh….
tinakwil man sa ng daddy nya atleast nagseserve xa sa daddy ng lahat!! si lord!
