When St. Francis realized that he could not conceal the stigmata which had been implanted so plainly on his body, he was afraid to make God's secret publicly known. One of the friars who was called Illuminatus said to him, "Brother, remember that when God reveals His secrets to you, it is not for yourself alone; they are intended for others too. If you hide something which was intended to do good to many others, then you have every reason to fear that you will be condemned for burying the talent given to you."
