"Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints." Ephesians 6:18
Secular (aka Third Order) Franciscans strive to live the Franciscan charism in secular life by living simply, dedicating themselves to prayer and contemplation, and to active service of God and neighbor. Admission into the Order is gradually attained through a time of exploration, formation, and initiation.
