Over your conversion, dearest Brothers, all the citizens of heaven have rejoiced with great joy and have sung new songs before the eternal King...The apostles rejoice to see their own life renewed, their teaching preached, and examples given by your outstanding holiness. The martyrs are happy in the expectation that their own constancy in pouring forth their sacred blood will be renewed. The confessors dance with joy, knowing that their frequent triumphs over the enemy will be renewed in you. The virgins rejoice, following the Lamb wherever he goes, for they know that their number is daily increased through you.
Saint Francis of Assisi
