OF THE MOST HOLY STIGMATA OF S. FRANCIS AND REFLECTIONS THEREON
In this part we shall gaze with devout reflection on the glorious and most holy Stigmata of our blessed Father, S. Francis, the which he received of Christ on His holy mount of Alvernia. And for that the said Stigmata were five in number, after the manner of the wounds of our Lord Jesu Christ, therefore this treatise will have five reflections.
The first reflection will be touching the manner in which S. Francis came to the holy mount of Alvernia.
The second reflection will be touching the life that he lived, and the converse that he held with his companions on the said holy mount.
The third reflection will be touching the seraphic vision and the imprinting of the most holy Stigmata.
The fourth reflection will be of the manner in which S. Francis came down from the mount of Alvernia, after that he had received the holy Stigmata, and returned to S. Mary of the Angels.
The fifth reflection will be touching certain divine apparitions and revelations made after the death of S. Francis unto holy brothers and other devout persons touching the said holy and glorious Stigmata.
