Caught Up in Spirit Into Heaven

Intoxicated by love and compassion for Christ, blessed Francis sometimes used to act like these. For the sweetest of spiritual melodies would often well up within him and found expression in French melodies, and the mururs of God's voice, heard by him alone, would joyfully pour forth in French tongue.

...But all this jollity would end in tears, and his joy would melt away in compassion for the suffering of Christ. And at such times he would break into constant sighs, and in his grief would forget what he was hlding in his hands, and be caught up in spirit into heaven.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Mirror of Perfection - 93
