No Sound Or Noise

Once the most faithful servant of Christ, St. Francis, held a General chapter on the plain at St. Mary of the Angels, where more than five thousand friars gathered together...the friars were sitting around in groups of sixty or a hundred or two or three hundred, all occupied only in talking about God in in praying, weeping, or doing works of charity. And they were so quiet and meek that there was no sound or noise.
