Franciscan Readings

• At fraternity gatherings, especially at the ordinary meetings of the fraternity and at the celebration of the chapter of elections, it is a good idea to have on hand the writings of St. Francis or other writings taken from the early Franciscan sources, in order to provide topics and ideas for the members to reflect upon.
  
  Here only a few of the writings of St. Francis of Assisi are indicated:

  • “The Exhortation to the Brothers and Sisters in Penance ”;

  • “Letter to All the Faithful ”;

  • the “Unconfirmed Rule of 1221 ”,chapters 22 and 23;

  • prayers and hymns from the “Office of the Passion ”
