THE ORDER OF FRANCISCAN SERVANTS
The Three Aims of the Order
To make our Lord known and loved everywhere.
By word and example, Franciscan Servants witness to Christ in their daily lives. By prayer and sacrifice, we help forward God's work wherever He has called us.
To spread the spirit of fellowship.
By working happily with people of different race, colour, creed, education and opportunity, Franciscan Servants seek to break down the divisions in the world. We try to live in the spirit of St. Francis' prayer: "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace."
To live simply.
Acknowledging that everything belongs to God, we seek to use His gifts wisely and to be good stewards of this fragile earth, never destroying or wasting what God has made. We provide the things necessary for ourselves and our families without demanding luxuries. We seek never to forget the needs of others.
