When I was in the Franciscans, one of our priests was approached for a few
dollars for breakfast (he was in full habit). He told the beggar to go to
the door of the friary (he was only 5 doors away from the friary) and to
tell the housekeeper that Fr. Bonaventure (good Franciscan name, eh!) had
sent him and to give him a hearty breakfast. Father Bonaventure was then
subjected to one of the foulest tirades you have ever heard, and the beggar
skulked away.
