Greater Humility An Better Example Is Shown When Preaching In Other Churches

When the friars have received the blessing of the local Bishops, let them go and mark out the boundaries of the land which they have accepted for their house, and as a sign of holy poverty and humility, let them plant a hedge instead of building a wall. Afterwards let them erect simple little huts of clay and wood, and a number of cells where the friars can pray or work from time to time in order to increase their merit and avoid idleness. Their churches are to be small; they are not to build great churches in order to preach to the people, or for any other reason, for they show greater humility and a better example when they visit other churches to preach.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Mirror of Perfection - 10
