St. Francis said, "In truth I say to you, many nobles and scholars of this world will enter our Order and will consider themselves highly honored to beg for alms. Go therefore and beg with confidence, with a joyful heart, and with the blessing of the Lord God. You ought to ask for alms with more cheerfulness and joy than a man who would offer a hundred pennies for one; in exchange for alms that you solicit, you will offer the love of God, since you will say, 'Give us an alms for the love of God!"
