THE RULE - Chapter 2 The Way of Life - 18

The Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order
Chapter 2 - The Way of Life

18.

Moreover they should respect all creatures, animate and inanimate, which “bear the imprint of the Most High,” and they strive to move from the temptation of exploiting creation to the Franciscan concept of universal kinship.

“May whoever observes all this be filled in heaven with the blessing of the most high Father, and on earth with that of his beloved Son, together with the Holy Spirit, the Comforter."

Blessing of Saint Francis from the Testament.
