Francis also told the friars to build their
houses small and their cells of wood, not of stone, and he wanted them
built in a humble style. He abhorred pretentious buildings, and disliked
superfluous or elaborate appointments. He wished nothing
about their tables or appointments to appear worldly or to remind them
of the world, so that everything should proclaim their poverty and
remind them that they were pilgrims and exiles.
