The narrative delves into his past, his humble beginnings, and his commitment to charity and compassion for the poor, illustrating how he abandoned his previous life of comfort to serve those in need. The opening sets a tone that is both reflective and poignant, emphasizing the bishop's gentle spirit and moral integrity as he conducts his duties within a town rife with hardship.
