Perfect Joy of St. Francis

How St. Francis Taught Brother Leo That Perfect Joy Is Only in the Cross

from The Little Flowers of St Francis, The "Fioretti"

One winter day St. Francis was coming to St. Mary of the Angels from Perugia with Brother Leo, and the bitter cold made them suffer keenly. St. Francis called to Brother Leo, who was walking a bit ahead of him, and he said: "Brother Leo, even if the Friars Minor in every country give a great example of holiness and integrity and good edification, nevertheless write down and note carefully that perfect joy is not in that."
