Saint Francis AssisiThomas of Celano, Rembrance-Desire of a SoulHis Compassion for the Sick
Great was his compassion towards the sick and great his concerns for their needs. If lay people's piety sent him tonics he would give it to the others who were sick even though he had greater need of them . He had sympathy for all who were ill and when he could not alleviate their pain he offered words of compassion. He would eat on fast days so the weak would not be ashamed of eating, and he was not embarrassed to go through the city's public places to find some meat for a sick brother. (Founder, 359) | ||||||||
