Saint Francis AssisiThomas of Celano, Rembrance-Desire of a SoulBees
Once a little cell was made on a certain mountain. In it the servant of God did penance rigorously for a period of forty days. After that span of time was over he left that place, and the cell remained in its lonely location without anytime taking his place. The small clay cup from which the saint used to drink was left there. Now, some people one time went to that place out of reverence for the saint, and they found that the cup full of bees. With wonderful skill they had constructed the little cells of their honeycomb in the cup itself, certainly symbolizing the sweetness of the contemplation which the holy one of God drank in at that place. (Founder, 356) | ||||||||
