As Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226), the divine poverello, he renounced family and wealth and embraced “Lady Poverty,” living among the poor and the lepers, finding unspeakable joy in imitating the compassion of Christ. While kneeling at Mass on the feast of St. Matthias in 1209, he heard the gospel of Jesus read by the priest and the Lord’s command to his apostles, “Go, preach.” Francis left the little church and began evangelizing and converting many. Among them was the noble Lady Clare, who later left her home dressed as the bride of Christ and presented herself to Francis for admittance to the mendicant order.
Como Francisco de Asís (hacia 1181–1226), el divino poverello, renunció a familia y riqueza para unirse a la «Señora Pobreza», viviendo entre los pobres y los leprosos, hallando una inefable alegría al imitar la compasión de Cristo. Mientras estaba arrodillado durante la misa en la fiesta de San Matías, en 1209, escuchó el evangelio de Jesús leído por el sacerdote y la orden del Señor a sus apóstoles: «¡Id, predicad!». Francisco se marchó de la pequeña iglesia y comenzó a evangelizar y a convertir a muchos. Entre ellos se encontraba la noble Clara, que más tarde abandonaría su casa vestida como la novia de Cristo para presentarse ante Francisco para ser admitida a la orden mendicante.


One of the many legends surrounding the lives of Francis and Clare describes their meal at Santa Maria degli Angeli, where Francis spoke so lovingly of God that all were enraptured in Him. Suddenly the people of the village saw the convent and the woods ablaze. Running hastily to quench the flames, they beheld the little company enfolded in brilliant light with arms uplifted to heaven.
