One legend about St. Francis that is worth retelling is a conversation he had with Brother Rufino, one of Francis's companions. Brother Rufino had visions of a demon disguised as Christ who was tormenting him with thoughts that he was damned: "Oh Brother Rufino, why do you afflict yourself with penance and prayer, since you are not among those predestined to eternal life? Believe me, because I know whom I have chosen and predestined....you are certainly among the number of the damned."
