UFrancis wawucengceleza lo mthandazo kakade ngonyaka ka-1205-1206, ngexesha lokuqonda kwakhe umsebenzi, xa wayehlala ecaweni encinci yaseSan Damiano, apho iByzantine Crucifix yayisabonakala nanamhlanje kwiBasilica yaseSanta Chia

Ewe, nguThixo ophakamileyo,

Ukujonga emva nokuqonda, Nkosi,
Wenze umthetho wakho onyanisekileyo. Amen.

I-Crucifix yaseSan Damiano yahanjiswa ngabahlali abahlwempuzekileyo baya kwi-Protomonastery yaseSanta Chiara e-Assisi, apho isenomdla, xa, ngo-1257, basuka kwicawa yaseSan Damiano.
Kukubethelelwa emnqamlezweni ngaphambi kokuba u-St. Francis athandaze ngo-1205, efumana ubizo lokuba lusebenzele iCawe yeNkosi. Ekuqaleni watolika izwi likaKristu njengesicelo esenzela ukubuyiselwa kwecawa yaseSan Damiano kwaye wayeqonda kancinci ukuba iNkosi imbizele ukusebenzela iCawe iphela.
Ke isixelele intsomi yamaqabane amathathu (VI-VII-VIII):
Xa wayedlula kwicawa yaseSan Damiano, waphefumlelwa ukuba ayingene. UAndatoci waqala ukuthandaza ngokuzingisileyo phambi komfanekiso weCrccix, owayethetha naye ngobubele esithi: “Francesco, awuboni ukuba indlu yam iyawa? Hamba uye kuyibuyisela. Yothuka kwaye ikhwankqisiwe, lo mfana uphendule wathi: "Ndiza kuyenza ngovuyo, Nkosi". Nangona kunjalo, wayengaqondi: wayecinga ukuba yile cawa, ethi ngenxa yobudala bayo, isongele intshabalalo ekufuphi. Ngala mazwi ka-Kristu waba noyolo olukhulu kwaye ebencamile; waziva emphefumlweni wakhe ukuba inene nguLowo wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni owabhekisa umyalezo kuye.
Iphumile ecaweni, yafumana umfundisi ehleli ecaleni kwakhe, yaza yafaka isandla ebhegini yayo, yathi kuye: “Mnumzana, nceda uthenge ioyile yokutshisa isibane phambi kwendawo leyo. Xa imali igqityiwe, ndiza kukuzisela ngakumbi, njengoko kufuneka.
Ukulandela lo mbono, yanyibilika intliziyo yakhe, ngokungathi wenzakele, kwinkumbulo yothando lweNkosi. Ngalo lonke ixesha awayephila ngalo wayesoloko ene-stigmata kaYesu entliziyweni yakhe, eyabonakalisayo ngokuncomekayo kamva, xa amanxeba e-Crucifix avela ngendlela ebonakalayo emzimbeni wakhe ...
Ngovuyo ngombono kunye namazwi e-Crucifix, uFrancesco waphakama, wenza uphawu lomnqamlezo, emva koko, ekhwele amahashe, waya kwisixeko saseFoligno ephethe ipakethi yelaphu lemibala eyahlukeneyo. Apha wathengisa ngehashe kunye nezinto zentengiso kwaye ngoko nangoko wabuyela eSan Damiano.
Kulapho wafumana khona umbingeleli, owayeswele kakhulu, kwaye emva kokumanga izandla kunye nokholo nokuzinikela, wamnika imali ... (apha le ntsomi ixelela ukuba, ekuqaleni, umfundisi akazange avume ukumkholelwa kwaye emva koko waqalisa ukumthemba, ekugqibeleni ndiqala ukuphekela uFrancis ofuna ukuphenduka).
Ukubuyela kwakhe kwicawa yaseSan Damiano, bonke bonwabile kwaye bezimisele, wazenzela isinxibo somfundisi-ntsapho wakhuthaza umfundisi welo cawa ngamazwi afanayo okhuthazo abhekiswa kuye ubhishophu. Ke, ukubuyela esixekweni, waqala ukuwela izitalato kunye nezitrato, ephakamisa imibongo yeNkosi kunye nomphefumlo odakileyo. Njengokuba indumiso iphela, wasebenza nzima efumana amatye ayimfuneko ekubuyiselweni kwecawa. Yayisithi: “Nabani na ondinika ilitye uya kuba nomvuzo; oamatye amabini, umvuzo amabini; Ngubani abathathu, mininzi imivuzo! "
Kwakukho nabanye abantu ababeza kumncedisa ngokubuyiselwa. UFrancis, ekhanya ngovuyo, watsho ngokuvakalayo, ngesiFrentshi, kubamelwane nakwabo badlula apho: “Yizani, nindincede kule misebenzi! Yazi ukuba apha kuya kuvela i-monastery yeenkosi, kwaye ngenxa yodumo lobomi babo obungcwele, uBawo wethu osezulwini uyakuzukiswa kulo lonke ibandla. "
Wayephiliswa ngumoya wesiprofetho, kwaye waxela kwangaphambili okwakuza kwenzeka. Kwakukho ngqo kwindawo engcwele yeSan Damiano eyaqala ngovuyo, ekuqalisweni kukaFrancis, malunga neminyaka emithandathu emva kokuguquka kwakhe, i-Order ezizukileyo neyithandekayo yabasetyhini abahlwempuzekileyo kunye neentombi ezingcwele.
