We Brothers of the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis observe the life of the Gospel through our prayer, apostolic works, and fraternity.  Our call to penance is a continuous conversion.  Baptism begins our conversion; profession strengthens it; our lives of religious consecration deepen it.  Each day reveals to us more completely the fullness of God's love (Lumen Gentium, C 573).   We live the Gospel as we make Christ present by rebuilding His Church, by sowing seeds of Christian consciousness and brotherhood, and by living together in peace.
