This attitude of soul towards poverty is in truth the supreme test of the genuine Franciscan spirit whether in life or in art.

Many thousand things that I now partly comprehend I should have thought utterly incomprehensible, many things I now hold sacred I should have scouted as utterly superstitious, many things that seem to me lucid and enlightened now they are seen from the inside I should honestly have called dark and barbarous seen from the outside, when long ago in those days of boyhood my fancy first caught fire with the glory of Francis of Assisi.
~G.K. Chesterton, Saint Francis of Assisi
