In the words of Saint Francis, directing them to an "'eminent cleric'" if he were to join his Order: "And so I wish an educated man world first offer me this prayer: 'Look, Brother; I have lived for a long time in the world and have not really known my God. Grant me, I pray you, a place removed from the noise of the world, where I may recall my years in sorrow and where I may gather the scattered bits of my heart and turn my spirit to better things.'" (Emphasis original)
