A Life Based Firmly Upon Deep Humility

St. Francis built his Order, called the Order of Friars Minor, firmly on deep humility. That is why, from the very beginning, when the brothers began to multiply, he made it clear that they were to live in lazarets to serve the lepers. At that time, when postulants presented themselves, whether nobles or commoners, they were forewarned that among other things they would have to serve the lepers and live in their hospitals.
