"It was in the cave that Francis met Jesus and saw himself for the first time. Up to that time his voices and dreams always seemed to come from without, from a great distance. But during the agonizing hours in the cave, he began to hear a voice inside himself, a deeper, clearer voice that was like discovering a part of himself he did not know was there. The more he prayed and turned to Christ for inspiration, the deeper he plunged toward some inner force that gave him strength and peace. He stopped talking to the bare walls of the cave"
