"The Franciscan way of life continues in our time, no less than in ages past, to attract many men and women who are thirsting for gospel perfection and seeking the kingdom of God."
(Pope John Paul II Approval of TOR Rule 1982) We are one family within the worldwide family of St Francis of Assisi. We invite you to share something of our lives and our relationship with God and with all people, our brothers and sisters in the one family of God. This is the form of life of the Brothers and Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St Francis: to observe the Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by living in obedience, in poverty and in chastity. (TOR Rule Ch 1) |
