Francesco Page #7

Synopsis: The life of St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) as related by followers who gather after his death to tell stories so that Leone can record them: a privileged and virile youth, a prisoner of war, an heir who turns away from his father and gives all to the poor, a beggar for others, and an inspiration to friends who accept the Gospels' life of poverty. He seeks the Pope's blessing, and he endures persecution at the hands of the family of Chiara Offreduccio (1194-1253), who becomes St. Clare. Many join the order he has established and then rebel at his expectations. In near despair - and ill - he writes a Rule to take to the Pope; then, the Lord sends him a message. He dies smiling.

Speak to me...

Speak to me...

Speak to me...

Speak to me...

Speak to me...

Francesco!

What's happened?

Let me see. Let me see.

You've hurt yourself.

He answered!

"Deux mihi dixit... "

God spoke to me again!

"Deux mihi dixit... "

God spoke to me again!

That's exactly what happened.

After so many days finally

he smiled and embraced me.

You saw nothing?

- Saw? Silence.

For some moments

there was a total silence.

And he didn't talk to you about it?

- No, it remained a secret.

Except for Chiara.

- What did he say? What did you think?

He said nothing.

I tended the wounds,

without asking any questions.

I thought that love had made his body

identical to the Beloved's.

And I asked myself if I would ever

be capable of loving that much.
