“On hearing of the destruction of the destruction of five of his missionaries by the Emir, Abu-Jacub, who clove their skulls with his own scimitar, [St.] Francis [of Assisi] exulted: ‘Now I can truly claim to have five real Friars Minor.’” (Quoted by Rev. Edward F. Murphy, S.S.J. in “HAND CLASPS WITH THE HOLY”, pub. by The Society of the Divine Savior (1944) Imprimi Potest, Nihil Obstate, and Imprimatur 1941, pg. 55.)
