Ladder To God And Neighbor

The angelic man, Francis, like the heavenly spirits on Jacob's ladder, acsended to God and descended to his neighbor. In fact, he had learned to divide the time given him to gain merit in such a way, that he labored manfully spending part of it helping his neighbor and part in the sweet whithdrawal into contemplation.

St. Bonaventure, Major Life
