Franciscan Rule For Hermitages

Those brothers who wish to live a religous life in a hermitage are to be three or at most four in number. Two of them are to act as mothers and are to have two sons or at least one. The two who perform the role of mothers are to follow the life of Martha, the other two that of Mary.

Those who follow the life of Mary are to have a cloistered space within which each one is to have his own cell in which to pray and sleep.
