Showing Humble Reverence For Priests

Whenever the followers of St. Francis came to a priest, rich or poor, good or bad, they bowed humbly before him; and when it was time to seek shelter for the night they preferred to lodge with priests sooner than with layfolk. If, however, the priest could not offer them hospitality, they sought out the houses of Godfearing, spiritual men.
