"St Francis of Assisi: A Biography" by Omer Englebert

1. The First Order – Friars Minor

• Founded by St. Francis in 1209 (approved by Pope Honorius III in 1223).

• These are the original Franciscan friars who live a life of poverty, prayer, and fraternity while serving the Church through preaching, missions, education, and service to the poor.

• The First Order is divided into three main branches today:

o Order of Friars Minor (OFM) – the largest branch.

o Order of Friars Minor Conventual (OFM Conv) – more urban-based, historically involved in intellectual and pastoral ministry.

o Order of Friars Minor Capuchin (OFM Cap) – a reform branch emphasizing simplicity and austerity.

2. The Second Order – Poor Clares

• Founded by St. Clare of Assisi in 1212, under the inspiration and guidance of St. Francis.

• A contemplative order of nuns, living in cloistered communities with a strong emphasis on prayer, silence, and poverty.

• Their life is dedicated to intercessory prayer and spiritual support for the Church and the world.

3. The Third Order – Secular Franciscans and Third Order Regular

• Established by St. Francis for laypeople and secular clergy who wished to live the Franciscan spirit without withdrawing from the world.

• Two main expressions today:

o Secular Franciscan Order (OFS) – for laypeople and diocesan clergy who live in the world, embracing a rule of life centered on prayer, simplicity, and works of mercy.

o Third Order Regular (TOR) – religious men and women who take vows and live in community, focusing on education, health care, missions, and charitable works.

As our guests on this episode, they provide the nuts and bolts of what the Journey In Faith plan actually looks like

https://www.dbqjourneyinfaith.org/

Journey in Faith Prayer

Lord Jesus,

You accompanied your disciples on the way to Emmaus.

As we journey in faith,

we trust in your Spirit

to open our eyes

to set our hearts on fire

and to transform our parishes.

Make yourself known to us

through breaking open word and bread,

that we may travel together on mission;

to grow disciples, cultivate leaders, and unify parishes,

with our journey ending in You,

who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.

3: What Is The Plan?

ENCOUNTER - ACCOMPANIMENT - COMMUNITY - MISSION

Prayer For The New Evangelization:

Heavenly Father, pour forth your Holy Spirit to inspire me with these words from Holy Scripture. Stir in my soul the desire to renew my faith and deepen my relationship with your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ so that I might truly believe in and live the Good News. Open my heart to hear the Gospel and grant me the confidence to proclaim the Good News to others. Pour out your Spirit, so that I might be strengthened to go forth and witness to the Gospel in my everyday life through my words and actions. In moments of hesitation, remind me: • If not me, then who will proclaim the Gospel? • If not now, then when will the Gospel be proclaimed? • If not the truth of the Gospel, then what shall I proclaim? God, our Father, I pray that through the Holy Spirit I might hear the call of the New Evangelization to deepen my faith, grow in confidence to proclaim the Gospel and boldly witness to the saving grace of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen
