We might expect in the 21st century...

Extrait: "Fra Mino s'était élevé par son humilité au-dessus de ses frères; et, jeune encore, il gouvernait sagement le monastère de Santa-Fiora. Il était pieux. Il se plaisait à prolonger ses méditations et ses prières; parfois il avait des extases. A l'exemple de saint François, son père spirituel, il composait des chansons en langue vulgaire sur l'amour parfait qui est l'amour de Dieu."
