When St. Francis saw that the temptations of lust did not leave him in spite of the scourging, even though all his members were marked with welts, he opened his cell and went out into the garden and cast himself naked into a deep pile of snow...The devil then parted in confusion, and the saint returned to his cell glorifying God.
