When St.. Francis felt his death approaching, he allowed himself to wear Porziuncola of Assisi. Where he received the Spirit of grace, he wanted to return to the Creator's mind. He settled, with only the most necessary clothes, lay on the bare earth and sprinkle with ashes, inherited from his Father Guardian still hire a medal Habit, covered with his left hand side wound, his eyes directed to heaven, where his tendon was. To the assembled brethren of the house Franzskus taught nor words of exhortation, dictating his spiritual testament, could be read from the Gospel and then Psalm 141: "With my voice I cry to the Lord" , Sing he mitbetete itself. In the concluding words of the Psalm: "Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous to wait on me, until you wohltuest me" - he breathed out his soul and went home to his father. St. Franzskus "died in 1126, the 20th year of his conversion and the 45th year of his age, on a Saturday, 3 October, after sunset, which had begun after the then count as October 4 already." "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." Blessed are the Francis children who die in the world dead, live to the Lord and leaving the world in the Lord.
