Itching Ears


Francis did not want the brothers dwelling at the Portiuncula, who were restricted severely as to number, to have itching ears for news of worldly things, lest, with their meditation on heavenly things interrupted, they should be drawn to the business of inferior things through those who spread rumors.

Saint Francis of Assisi
