One day a priest came to Francis of Assisi and said, "Francis, I know you are a great preacher. Would you teach me how to preach the Gospel?" So Francis agreed. They went off to feed the hungry, to give shelter to the homeless, to take some orphans to a home that would care for them. At the end of the day Francis and the priest had cared for over 50 people. The priest said, "Francis, this is all wonderful work, but when are you going to teach me how to preach the Gospel?" Francis replied, "We've been preaching the Gospel all day through how we have lived the day. Preach the Gospel always, if necessary use words."
