Lesser Brothers

St. Francis said, "The Lord has willed that the brothers be called 'lesser' because they are this people whom the Son of God asked of his Father and of whom he said in the Gospel: 'There is no need to be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased the Father to give you the kingdom,' and again: 'In so far as you did this to one of the least (minor) of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.' "
