21. The Apparition to Fra Agostino

In a convent near Naples, at the very moment that Francis died, a brother called Agostino, who had been dumb for years and was near to death, cried out: "Wait for me, father, I want to go with you!" At the same time, in the oratory of St. Michael on Mount Gargano, the bishop of Assisi had a vision of Francis saying: "I am leaving the world and going to heaven."
