Reverent Recitation Of The Office

Blessed Francis suffered a great deal for many years in his stomach, spleen, liver and eyes. But he had so much fervor and prayed with so much reverence that he refused to lean against the wall or the partition while praying; he stood most of the time, with his capuche lowered. Sometimes, however, de did kneel. And when he traveled on foot from place to place, he always stopped to recite the hours. If he was riding on horseback because of his continual infirmitives, he dismounted to say his office.
