The man of God, Francis, had been taught not to seek his own, but to seek especially what in his eyes would be helpful toward the salvation of others; but above everything else he desired to depart and to be with Christ. Therefore, his greatest concern was to be free from everything in this world, lest the serenity of his mind be disturbed even for an hour by the taint of anything that was mere dust.
