Francis of Assisi |
 | | He spent much of his time in solitude, praying or singing praise to God for his wonderful works. |
| | The canticle known as Laudes creaturarum, with its childlike invocations to Brother Sun, Sister Moon with the stars, Brother Wind, Sister Water, Brother Fire, and finally Sister Death, to raise their voices to the glory of God, dates from this period of his life. |
| | The hermit stage which opened the career of many monastic founders was reserved for the end of his who had once been so restless in his activity. |
