St. Francis gives his cloak to a poor Knight
"God brought Francis low with a prolonged illness, in order to prepare his soul to recive the Holy Spirit. When he recovered and was going about dressed as usual in keeping with his position, he met a Knight who was of noble birth but very poor, so that he was not properly clad. Francis felt sorry for him and immdiately took off his qwn clothes and gave them to him. At one and the same time he fulfilled the twofold duty of relieving the poverty of the poor and saving a nobleman of embbarrassment" (LM: 1: 4)
As I recall this example of Francis being kind to someone poorer than himself, I resolve, dear Jesus, to help those who are needy: if thirsty, give them drink; if hungry, give them food; if naked, give them clothes; if sick, visit them; if in prision, comfort them. I will do all these things after your example, and in your Name, dear Jesus. Amen.
