Jorgensen offers a glimpse into a bygone world and inspiration to all who seek to follow the way of St. Francis today. As I kneeled amid those barefooted brownhabited friars who in the darkness raised their hands and their hearts to heaven in voiceless prayer I realized more vividly than ever before what the Middle Ages werehow far removed the twentieth century washow far away beyond the crest of the mountains was the modern world and how remote the great busy towns with their glare and noise unrest and endless amusements seemed.
