Excerpt: ... ported in the contemplation of God; and Saint Francis said of him that he was worthy of all reverence, and that he was the true founder of this Order, inasmuch as he was the first who forsook the world, keeping nothing for himself, but giving all to Christ's poor; and he set an example of Christian poverty, offering himself naked to the arms of Christ crucified; for which thing may he be blessed insaeculasaeculorum. Amen. How for the evil Thoughts which Saint Francis had regarding Brother Bernard, he commanded that fame Brother Bernard that three Times he shouldplace his Feet upon his Neck and upon his Mouth. ' ""SHAT most devout servant of the Cross, and constant tears had become almost blind and saw but little. Upon one occasion he left the place where he abode and went to that place where Brother Bernard sojourned, to speak with him of divine things. And coming to that place he learned that CHAPTER III. Francis, from severe penance the the Brother was at prayer in the wood, rapt, and conjoined with God. Then Saint Francis went forth into that wood and called aloud, saying, "Come hither and speak to this blind beggar." And Brother Bernard answered him not, forasmuch as, being a man greatly given to meditation, his mind was absorbed in the contemplation of God; and he was strangely favored in converse with God, as Saint Francis had ofttimes proven, and therefore did he desire to have speech with him. After a certain space he called unto him a second and even a third time after the same fashion; and never once did Brother Bernard heed or hear his voice; neither did he make any answer, nor came he forth to meet him; so that Saint Francis departed no little disconsolate, and marvelling and lamenting in his own mind that Brother Bernard, ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Flowers of Saint Francis of Assisi: In the Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who Was Crucified and of His Mother the Virgin Mary; In This Book Are Contained Certain Little Flowers, Miracles, and Devout Examples of That Glorious Poor Follower of Christ, Saint Francis, and of Certain The boy was taught by the priests of the parish, and learned easily all that was taught him, showing an especial talent for the language of the land from which he took his name. As he grew to manhood he was foremost in the gayeties of the town, win ning for himself the sobriquet of the flower of youth. Thomas of Celano, a Franciscan brother, and a dear friend of Francis, describes him thus: He was of middle stature, rather under than over, with an oval face and full but low fore head, his eyes dark and clear, his hair thick, his eyebrows close, a straight and delicate nose, a voice soft yet keen and fiery; S aint francis was born in 1182, in the little town of Assisi, close, equal, and white teeth; lips modest yet subtle; a black beard not thickly grown; a thin neck, square shoulders, short arms, small hands and feet, delicate skin, and little flesh. So elegant was his dress, and so luxurious were his tastes, that his parents often said, He is more like the son of a prince than like our son. Still, they were proud of his splendor, and grudged him nothing, though his charities were as lavish as his pleasures: no beggar ever asked of him in vain. When he had reached the age of twenty-four, however, a war broke out between Assisi and Perugia. Francis was taken prisoner, and for a year languished in captivity. Returning home, he suffered from a long and tedious illness which proved a turn ing-point in his career. He began to long for something better and higher than mere amusement. It was the age of knighthood, and his first thought was to redress wrong and help the weak. He set out to join the forces of the Count de Brienne, described as a man of great magnificence and liberality; but stopping at Spoleto, he was warned in a dream to return home, which he did in a state of melancholy and absorption. He now began to devote himself more entirely to the sick and poor, particularly the lepers, of whom there were many at that time.
