Appearing Worthless In The Eyes Of Others


As Christ's true disciple, St. Francis was careful to preserve a low opinion of himself and appear worthless in the eyes of others...Consequently, he was convinced that it was foolish to be elated when people showed him marks of respect; he was upset by praise, but overjoyed when he was insulted. He liked to have people scorn him - that spurred him on to do better - and hated to be praised, which could lead to a fall.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Bonaventure, Major Life
Chapter VI
