In the Church of San Nicolò, Francis and Bernard opened the Bible three times to discover their mission. The verses were: “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell all you have, and give to the poor, and come, follow Me”; “Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money”; and “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”
