From Admonitions of Saint Francis of Assisi, Admonition VII

“The Apostle says: ‘The letter kills, but the spirit gives life.’ (2 Cor 3:6) … And those people are brought to life by the spirit of the divine letter who do not attribute every letter they know, or wish to know, to the body (themselves) but, by word and example, return them to the most high Lord God to Whom every good belongs.”
