Once while he was staying at Saint Mary of the Portiuncula and there were as yet few friars, St. Francis went through the villages and churches round about the city of Assisi proclaiming and preaching to the people that they should do penance. And he carried a broom to sweep out the churches that were dirty, for he was very grieved when he found any church not as clean as he wished.
