St. Francis's Love for Jesus
"Francis was intimately united with Jesus--Jesus always in his heart, Jesus on his lips, Jesus in his ears, Jesus in his eyes, Jesus in his hands, Jesus in all the other members of his body. How many times he would be eating dinner and would hear or mention or think about Jesus and forget to eat, so that, as we read about one of the saints, 'looking he did not see, and listening he did not hear!' Often when he was on a journey, meditating or singing about Jesus, he would leave the road and start inviting all creatures to praise Jesus." --Celano, First Life, 1155
This reminds me of the children's song, Jesus in the Morning.
