A Gospel Life

 

      Franciscans are called evangelical.

 

 

This means they follow the rule of the Gospel in contrast to following or imitating the life of the apostles. 
 

 

Franciscans daily read  about and reflect on the person of Jesus. 
 

 

The third article in the Poor Clare constitutions reads: 

"Life according to the perfection of the holy Gospel, which constitutes the special character of our Order, is for Francis and Clare the very person of Jesus Christ himself, who called us and left us the command to live according to his memory."
