Poverty, Chastity and Obedience

View from Inside the Fonte Colombo chapel outside of Rieti, Italy
where St. Francis received from God the Rule of 1223


The Rule and life of the Friars Minor is this, namely, to observe the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by living in obedience, without property, and in chastity. Brother Francis promises obedience and reverence to his holiness Pope Honorius and his lawfully elected successors and to the Church of Rome. The other Friars are bound to obey Brother Francis and his successors.
