Mai ka Mana Puna Franciscan (ʻike FF 33923399)
I hoʻokahi pō o ka makahiki o ka Haku 1216, ua ʻulapau ʻo Francis i ka pule a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i loko o ka hale pule o ka Porziuncola kokoke i Assisi, i ʻike koke aku ai ka hoʻomālamalama kukui loa i loko o ka hale pule a ʻike ʻo Francis iā Kristo ma luna o ke kuahu a me kāna Keiki Hemolele ma ka ʻākau. ua puniia e na anela he nui. Hoomana ikaika ole o Francis ia kona Haku me kona maka ma ka honua.
A laila nīnau lākou iā ia i nā mea āna e makemake ai no ke ola o nā ʻuhane. Ua pane koke aku nō ʻo Francis: "E ka Makua Hemolele, ʻoiai he lawehala hewa, ke pule aku nei au i nā poʻe a pau e mihi a e haʻi, e hele i kēia hale pule, hāʻawi iā ia i ke kala a me ka nui o ka kala, me kahi kala piha i nā hala āpau" . ^ E Ha yM.
"ʻO ka mea āu e noi nei, e Brother Francis, ua nui ka Haku iā ia, akā pono ʻoe i nā mea nui aku a loaʻa iā ʻoe nui. No laila ke aloha nui nei au i kāu pule, akā me ke ʻano ka noi ʻana aku i kaʻu likela ma ka honua, noʻu, no kēia ʻano aloha. " A hōʻike koke ʻo Francis iā ia iā Pope Honorius III ma Perugia i kēlā mau lā a haʻi iā ia me ke kahakaha i kāna ʻike. Ua hoʻolohe maikaʻi ʻia ka Papa iā ia a ma hope o kekahi luhi ka ʻae ʻana iā ia. A laila ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "ʻEhia mau makahiki āu i makemake ai i kēia makemake?" Pane maila ʻo Francis: "E ka Makua Hemolele, ʻaʻole wau e noi i nā makahiki akā he mau ʻuhane". A hauʻoli hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka puka, akā ua kapa aku ʻo ia iā ia: "Pehea, ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake i nā palapala?" A ʻo Francis: "E ka Makua Hemolele, ua lawa kāu ʻōlelo. Ina he hana keia hana a ke Akua, e manaʻo nō ia e hōʻike i kāna hana; ʻAʻole oʻu pono i kekahi palapala, ʻo kēia kāleka nui ka ʻoi loa ʻo ka ʻUhane Hemolele Maria, ʻo Christ ka mea notaris a me nā ʻānela nā mea i hōʻike ʻia ".
A ma kekahi mau lā ma hope iho me ka Bihopa o Umbria, i ka ʻākoakoa o kanaka e ʻākoakoa ai ma Porziuncola, ʻōlelo ʻo ia me ka waimaka: "E kuʻu poʻe hoahānau, makemake wau e hoʻouna iā ʻoe i ka lani!".
