St Francis Illustration

the story of St. Francis who told one of his young
friars "Let us go down to the village and preach to the
people." As they went to the village, they stopped to
talk to the men they met along the way and begged for
bread at several doors. Francis stopped to play with the
children, and exchanged a greeting with the passers-by.
As they turned to go home the stupefied apprentice said

But when do we preach?

Francis smiled and replied

Preach? Every step we took, every word we spoke, every
action we did, has been a sermon.
