Many wonderful things happened upon the Monte Alverno while Saint
Francis dwelt there. But none were more wonderful than the great love of
Francis himself; his love which was so big and so wide that it wrapped
the whole round world, binding all creatures more closely in a common
brotherhood.

love the name of that dear Saint, their childlike, simple, happy little
brother, Saint Francis of Assisi.
