Subdue By Humility

Once when St. Franics came to Imola, a city of Romagna, he presented himself to the bishop of the region, asking his permission to preach. The bishop said to him: "It is enough, Brother, that I preach to my people." Bowing his head, St. Francis humbly went outside, and after a short time, he came back in. The bishop said to him: "What do you want, Brother? What are you seeking now?" And the blessed Francis said: "Lord, if a father drives his son out one door, he must come back in by another." Subdued by his humility, the bishop embraced him with a happy countenance and said: "You and your brothers may preach in my diocese in the future with my general permission, for you holy humility has merited this."
