ARTICLES RELATED TO Franciscan - The beginning of the brotherhood | | | |  Franciscan - The beginning of the brotherhood: Encyclopedia II - Franciscan - The beginning of the brotherhoodA sermon which Francis heard in 1209 on Matt. x. 9 made such an impression on him that he decided to devote himself wholly to a life of apostolic poverty. Clad in a rough garment, barefoot, and, after the Evangelical precept, without staff or scrip, he began to preach repentance.
He was soon joined by a prominent fellow townsman, Bernardo di Quintavalle, who contributed all that he had to the work, and by other companions, who are said to have reached the number of eleven within a year. The brothers lived in the deserted lazar-house o ...

Franciscan - Dissentions during the life of Francis.
The controversy about poverty which extends through the first three centuries of Franciscan history began in the lifetime of the founder. The ascetic brothers Matthew of Narni and Gregory of Naples, to whom Francis had entrusted the direction of the order during his absence, carried through at a chapter which they held certain stricter regulations in regard to fasting and the reception of alms, which really departed from the spirit of the original rule. It did ...

Franciscan - Origin and rule.
The first Rule given to lay men and women passionate about following St. Francis was found in the Guarnacci Library in Volterra, Italy. This primitive Rule is known as the Earlier Exhortation or the Earlier Version of the Letter to All the Faithful and was likely composed before 1215. An expanded version, the Later Exhortation was completed by about 1220. Both have been established as having been composed by St. Francis. Both documents call the lay faithful to a life of penance, i.e. ...

Franciscan - The first rule.
The oldest "rule", referred to above, no longer preserved in its original form, seems to have contained not much more than the three Scriptural commands in Matt. xix. 21; Luke ix. 3; and Matt. xvi. 24. Thus it was more a propositum vitae, a life project, than a rule as traditionally understood. The attempted reconstruction by Muller ascribes to it too extensive a content, though Sabatier goes too far in the other direction when he limits it to these three sayings of Christ, whi ...

| | | | Franciscan - The beginning of the brotherhood: Encyclopedia II - Franciscan - The last years of Francis Francis had to suffer from the dissensions just alluded to and the transformation which they operated in the originally simple constitution of the brotherhood, making it a regular order under strict supervision from Rome. Exasperated by the demands of running a growing and fractious Order, Francis asked Pope Honorius III for help in 1219. He was assigned Cardinal Ugolino as protector of the order by the Pope. Francis resigned the day to day running of the Order into the hands of others but retained the power to shape the Order's legislation, ...
