Quote from Francis of Assisi

[OrthodoxBerean]

Can anyone tell me the source for this quote?

“Preach the gospel at all cost and if necessary use words”

I know it was said that it was from Francis of Asissi but can anyone tell me where or in what writting he is said to have said this?

Thanks

I can’t say for sure…but there is a wonderful website that compilies many of his writings. They are in different languages, but it is worth a check of it if you are willing to take the time to look.
