2. A RULE OF MUTUAL SERVICE IS THE CORE OF BEING FRANCISCAN
CONFIDENTLY MAKE KNOWN A NEED YOU HAVE TO ANOTHER
CARE & LOVE WITH EACH OTHER AS A MOTHER
DO NOT JUDGE
NO ONE BE CALLED PRIOR, WE ARE ALL LESSER BROTHERS
LET ONE WASH THE FEET OF THE OTHER

MOVE PATIENTLY, CAREFULLY, AND INCONSPICUOUSLY
THEY DO WHAT IS RIGHT
QUIET LEADERS-THEIR MODESTY AND RESTRAINT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR IMPRESSIVE ACHIEVEMENTS.
LIVING THE GOSPELSQUIETLY, SIMPLY, MODESTLY
THEY DO NOT LOOK FOR APPLAUSE & RECOGNITION, BUT FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS

4. THE CHRISTMAS CRIB

5. FRANCIS’S CHRISTMAS CRIB
AROUSED THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE
IT EMPOWERS PEOPLE TO REMEMBER THE BIRTH OF JESUS AS A PWERFUL AND CONCRETE EVENT

6. BECOMING RESOURCES FOR GROWTH
WHEN PEOPLE LOOK INTO MY EYES DO THEY SEE INTEREST, VALUING, AND SERIOUS CARE?
WE MIGHT NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BUT BRINGING THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH YOU AND ASK “HOW MIGHT I HELP YOU?
WORK FOR OTHERS
HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS
USE THE GIFTS OF THOSE AROUND YOU

7. FRANCISCAN LEADERS SUPPOT AFFIRM
AND RESOURCE THOSE WITH WHOM THEY LIVE AND WORK
LOVE-JESUS AND FRANCIS GAVE US THE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF LOVING LEADERSHIP
