Join us on our first podcast episode as we delve into the Rule of the Third Order within the Franciscan vocation. We will explore the various parts of the Rule, including the Personal Rule, which is an offering of love to God and a means of growing into full life in Christ. You will learn about the process of formation and how to adapt the basic outline of a solid spiritual life to your individual circumstances and temperament. We will also discuss the importance of developing discipline as a way of turning towards Christ and the dangers of a rigid, legalistic approach to the Rule. You will gain insight into how to reflect the interior tuning of the heart in your life and how to grow in the Spirit while avoiding routine spiritual exercises. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the Franciscan vocation and how to live out the Rule as a Third Order Franciscan.
