Excerpt from Franciscan Days: Being Selections for Every Day in the Year From Ancient Franciscan Writings

The following extracts from ancient Franciscan writings are intended to set forth the most characteristic features of the life and teaching of S. Francis of Assisi, and the effect of that life and teaching upon his first disciples. The extracts have been translated expressly for this work, and in consequence of the space-limit imposed (one page for every day of the year) it has been sometimes found necessary to resort to compression and abridgment of the originals. In some cases it has been found advisable to combine narratives from more than one source (see, for instance, the extract for March I). With regard to the arrangement of the extracts, those relating to S. Francis' life in the world, to the period of his conversion, and to the early days of his ministry, have been placed at the beginning of the book, and those relating to his fast of forty days on the mountain of La Verna, and to his last illness and death, have been assigned to the early autumn, the time of year when these events occurred.
