St Francis Devotion to The Holy Eucharist

From the Major Life of St Francis, St. Bonaventure, IX, 2

“His burning love for the Sacrament of our Lord’s Body seemed to consume the very marrow of his bones… He communicated often, and so devoutly as to move others to devotion; and, by the sweetness of the Immaculate Lamb, he was, as it were, spiritually inebriated, and frequently rapt in ecstasy.”
