Brother Juniper

St. Francis once described the perfect friar by citing "the patience of Brother Juniper, who attained the state of perfect patience because he kept the truth of his low estate constantly in mind, whose supreme desire was to follow Christ on the way of the cross." St. Francis held Juniper in such high regard he once said, "Would to God, my brothers, I had a whole forest of such Junipers."
