Francis Forgives His Brothers

Fresco by Giotto (one of the early followers of St. Francis)

As Francis lay dying, he said to one of the brothers, "Behold, my son, I am called by God; I forgive my brothers, both present and absent, all their offenses and faults, and, in so far as I am able, I absolve them; I want you to announce this to them and to bless them all on my behalf."


Saint Francis of Assisi
