Once when Francis had met a poor man and considered his poverty, he said to his companion, "This man's poverty brings great shame on us, and is a stern rebuke to our own. For since I have chosen holy poverty as my lady, my delight, and my spiritual bodily treasure, I feel the greatest shame when I find someone poorer than myself"...
