At which the other brothers mar- velled, and took some scandal that he, being a man of such great sanctity, should from mere human and worldly affection as it seemed, thus weep for his brother, and show more devotion to his remains than to those of the o...ther brothers, who had been of no less sanctity than Brother Humilitas and were worthy of equal reverence. And Brother Pacificus, knowing the untoward thoughts of the brothers, humbly gave them the satisfaction they required, and said to them : " My dearest brothers, be not surprised if I have done more for the bones- of my own brother than for the others ; for, blessed be God ! I was not moved there- to, as you believe, by human affection ; but I did it, because when my brother departed this life, as I was praying in a deserted place and at a distance from him, I saw his soul ascend by a straight path to heaven ; L 146 The Little Flowers and therefore I am certain that his bones are sacred, and ought to be in paradise.
