\u00ab<\/em>\u00a0few days passed. As he passed by the church of San Damiano, he was inspired to enter it. He went there and prayed fervently before the image of the Crucifix, who spoke to him with moving goodness: “Francis, do you not see that my church is falling down? Go then and restore it to me”.
