St. Francis taught us to join with all creation and praise God in His creatures, while venerating priests with special reverence and holding fast to the true faith with is professed and taught by the Catholic Church. This his followers were to believe firmly and profess with all simplicity. At that time his followers obeyed his teachings to perfection, and whenever they saw a church or a crucifix, even from a distance, they knelt down humbly and prayed the way Francis had taught them.
