Life of Gospel Brotherhood

LIFE OF GOSPEL BROTHERHOOD

St.Francis applied this term first of all to the order as a whole: He would say : "I want the order to be called the order of lesser brothers". Hence, the term expresses the real character of the order.
Creating in the fraternities a family -life, simple and joyful atmosphere in which each brother can freely grow developing mutual trust, understanding and esteem for one another.
Our constitutions clearly state that the first apostolate of the friar minor is to live the Gospel life in this world.
Before all else, we must bear witness to Brotherly life, lived with the people and for the people, with the poor and for the poor.
Coming together is the beginning
sharing together is the progress
working together is success.
