Following the evangelical mandate “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give it to the poor” (Matthew 19:21), the blessed Bernardo di Quintavalle (1180-1241), the first disciple of Saint Francis of Assisi, divided up his abundant goods among the poor who had gathered all around him to receive some coins from his generous hands.
