Tales of St. Francis
Autor Murray Bodoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 1988
One night, as they all lay sleeping soundly, a loud cry broke into their dreams:
"I am dying! I am dying! Help me!"
And the brothers, startled for their sleep, saw St. Francis already at the side of the terrified brother.
"What is it, brother? Tell me."
And though he was now embarrassed, the brother overcame shame and said:
"Forgive me, Father Francis; but I am dying of hunger."
Then St. Francis immediately ordered the brothers to light a torch and go out and gather some herbs and vegetables and whatever else they could find for all of them to have a good, nourishing meal. He said this so that the poor brother would not have to be humiliated by eating alone. And so all the brothers set themselves eagerly to the task of preparing a meal and then they all sat down with the hungry brother and ate a midnight supper.
Lesson: Distinguish between moderation and excess. We mature in God when we let him come and go as he wills and not try to force him to stay by exaggerated penance.
