Canonical Hours


Francis recited the Canonical Hours no less reverently than devoutly. For though he suffered from infirmity of the eyes, stomach, spleen, and liver, he did not want to lean against a wall or a partition when he chanted, but always said the hours standing erect and without a capuche, without letting his eyes roam about and without interruption.
