...and bear suffering and trial.
:02:07
Blessed those who
shall in peace endure,

:02:09
...for by Thee, most High,
they will be crowned.

:02:13
Praise be my Lord,
for our sister, bodily death

:02:17
...from whom no living
man can escape.

:02:20
Woe to them who
die in mortal sin.

:02:24
Blessed be those who she
finds in Thy most holy will,

:02:26
...for the second death
shall not harm them.
God hath chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise,

:02:30
Praise and bless my Lord,
and the weak things of the world
to confound the things that are mighty

:02:36
...and serve him
with great humility.
Paul. I Corinthians, 2:27

:02:41
To conquer the world,
Francesco became humble

:02:46
and a clown to merit
the Kingdom of Heaven.

:02:50
Everyone mocked him and said
he was mad.

:02:53
But Pope Innocent III let him
preach to the people,

:02:56
his faith in gentleness
and poverty.

:03:02
Now Francesco is returning from
Rome with his companions.

:03:08
Their hut is occupied. They go on
to Santa Maria degli Angeli.

:03:13
From there they will take
to the world

:03:16
the power of their meekness
and their sweet love of peace.

:03:31
"If I were preaching,
I'd begin like this:"

:03:35
I've come to tell you a big
secret that will make you happy.

:03:41
I'll teach you how to find
real peace.

:03:45
And joy!
:03:47
And joy! Because joy and peace
are what men most desire.

:03:53
I'd talk of glory. We should have
the spirit of the perfect knight.

:03:59
He wishes us to preach the
word of God with charity.
