Whether he [St. Francis] was walking or sitting, at home or abroad, whether he was working or resting, he was so wholeheartedly intent on prayer that he seemed to have dedicated to it not only his heart and soul, but all his efforts and all his time. He was often taken right out of himself in such an excess of devotion that he was lost in ecstacy. Then he experienced things which were beyond human understanding, and he would be completely oblivious of all that went on about him.
