Nowhere To Lay His Head

After St. Francis had lived and prayed in a particular cell for some time, one day when he had gone out and was near the friary of the brothers, came up to him. "Where do you is a from?" blessed Fracis asked. "From your cell," the brother answered. Blessed Francis immediately responded: "Since you have called it my cell, someone else will occupy it from now on, not I!"

We who loved with him often heard him repeat the saying of the gospel: "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
