"The Franciscan Heart" (taken from an old Formation book for Third Order Members):
We have said that the first emphasis of Franciscan spirituality is the fact that God is love.
The second is that Christ is our brother in God's love, and we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.  Francis re-discovered the plain truth of the gospels: Christ is not only God; he is man.
He is a true man with a real body, real mind, real will, real emotions,
just like all his brother and sisters, minus sin and personal results of sin.
The love of God became our borhter so that we might have God as our Father forever. 
The Gospel life is simply to love like Jesus, as man, knowing that it is God's love pulsing within.
The Gospel life is to love people -- not 'people' in general, but these people, the ones I meet,
the ones I live with. The Third Order offers me a particular community of people
among whom I can be helped to experience and witness to this Francis-Christ-like love."
