Selecting A Friary


After the Lord Bonaventure gave the brothers land upon which to build a friary, Saint Francis said to him: "When the brothers arrive in a city where they do not yet have residence, and they find someone who wants to give them a piece of land to build a friary with a garden and the necessary space, they must first of all decide that the area is adequate, and not exceed it; it must never lose sight of the holy poverty that we have promised to observe nor of the good example that we are bound to give to others."

Saint Francis of Assisi
