Holy Humility

At the end of the Chapter, when many friars were sent to a number of Provinces overseas, blessed Francis remained behind with some of the friars. And he said to them, "Dearest Brothers, it is my duty to provide a pattern and example to all the friars. So, as I have sent friars to distant lands to endure toil and abuse, hunger and thirst, and other hardships, it is only right, and holy humility requires, that I should go to some distant Province. When the brethren hear that I am undergoing the same trials as they, they will bear their own hardships all the more patiently."

Saint Francis of Assisi
Mirror of Perfection - 65
