Writings of Leo, Rufino and Angelo
The Portiuncula Franciscan Chapel, located adjacent to the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Ozark, Ohio (Diocese of Steubenville) is humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to Father Nick Ward, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
brother lesser, I am not too familiar with the Franciscan spirituality, but if I could ask a question: you mention elsewhere the Three Companions, and I was wondering if they are the same as the three people you mention here?
