How can I live like a Franciscan? (Ask a Capuchin) | Capuchin Franciscans

What did Francis join? Why join or make meetings? Do you think Francis would ask anyone to fill out an application? Just live a Franciscan life.

The most important Doctrine' is the Bible it's simple

Thank you Father.

Thank you Father Joseph. This was perfect for me to hear.

I don't think it's fair to tell a prospective aspirant that they shouldn't consider becoming a tertiary! Who knows, through him he might actually found a chapter in an area where there are no friars just because of his calling! St Francis started off solitarily with lepers. I think that you should reach out to this gentleman because you may have squashed appear in holy desire to become a Franciscan tertiary!

But maybe he wants to make a deeper commitment.

Do the capuchins have a sfo? 3rd order..

great bro,, God bless to proclaim Jesus through our spiritual franciscan life.

Have you ever watched videos on the Invisible People channel?

True, they don't choose that life, but Francis did partly to show a kind of solidarity with them. This kind of Good Will is what makes him so special.
If you show that kind of solidarity and Good Will towards the people all around you who have nothing, you'll be emulating him by default.
Do what you can.
God will cover the rest with His Grace.

ask a capuchin: have capuchins (or religious in general) become more lenient in terms of penance and discipline? and if so can one who becomes a friar live out a more sort of lifestyle that contains that original type of penance that Francis intended?

Honest answer to a good question.
I am in the same situation as the person who has sent you that question.
Pace et bene to you brother!
