Convertitosi al cattolicesimo nel 1922, Chesterton pubblicò questo «bozzetto» su san Francesco nel 1923, come se dalla conversione del Santo di Assisi traesse uno spirituale alimento per la propria. Per Chesterton san Francesco era soprattutto un uomo innamorato di Dio e della Creazione, un poeta che si sentiva piccolo e cantava la gloria delle piccole cose, dei piccoli esseri viventi, della vita ordinaria di coloro che aiutava nella lotta contro la miseria. Dai folli gesti di carità compiuti quando era ancora il figlio di un mercante al rifiuto del mondo e alla creazione di un Ordine e di una regola che davvero imitavano la vita di Cristo, alle stigmate ricevute sul monte della Verna, e fino alla morte, ogni passo del suo cammino su questa terra era rivolto al cielo. Un amore così grande e appassionato, una mistica così semplice e assoluta appaiono «scandalose» alla mentalità moderna. Ma è proprio essa che Chesterton vuole scuotere in queste pagine, cercando di aiutarla, con la consueta ironia, a compiere il movimento di rivoluzione interiore che fece del piccolo Francesco Bernardone il grande san Francesco.
