The first brothers



Two years after his conversion, some recognized that Francis was on the right path.

"The first brother that the Lord gave me was Friar Bernardo" Francisco said shortly before he died, remembering sweetly. "He was the first to put into practice the teachings of the Gospel"

Messer Berbardi de Quintavalle fair, wealthy and honest, had been Francis' first brother, the one who had heard him recite "my God and my everything" for a whole night.
