The Secular Franciscan Order - Chapter One

2.
The Secular Franciscan Order holds a special place in this family circle. It is an organic union of all Catholic fraternities scattered throughout the world and open to every group of the faithful. In these fraternities the brothers and sisters, led by the Spirit, strive for perfect charity in their own secular state. By heir profession they pledge themselves to live the gospel in the manner of Saint Francis by means of this rule approved by the church.
