San Francisco de Asís understood very well the secret of the bliss of the poor of spirit. In fact, when Jesus spoke to him in the person of the leper and in the crucifix, he recognized the greatness of God and the very condition of humility. In prayer, Poverello spent hours asking the Lord: "Who are you? Who I am?". He stripped out of a well-known and carefree life to marry with the "Poverty Mrs." to imitate Jesus and follow the Gospel at the bottom of the letter. Francisco lived inseparably the imitation of poor Christ and love to the poor, as the two sides of the same coin.
