St.Francis To St. Clare And The Poor Ladies

I, Brother Francis, little one, want to follow the life and poverty of the Most High, our Lord Jesus Christ, and his Most Holy Mother, and to preserve in this to the end. And I pray you, my ladies, and councel you to live always in this same most holy life and poverty. Be careful to keep far from you anyone who would in any way teach or councel anything other than this.
