1. FORM OF LIFE WHICH ST. FRANCIS
WROTE FOR ST. CLARE.
Since,
by divine inspiration, you have made yourselves daughters and handmaids of the
Most High Sovereign King, the Heavenly Father, and have espoused yourselves to
the Holy Ghost, choosing to live according to the perfection of the holy
Gospel, I will, and I promise to have always, by myself and my brothers, a
diligent care and special solicitude for you, as for them.
2. LAST WISH WHICH ST. FRANCIS
WROTE TO ST. CLARE.
I,
little brother Francis, wish to follow the life and poverty of Jesus Christ our
Most High Lord and of His Most Holy Mother and to persevere therein until the
end. And I beseech you all, my ladies, and counsel you, to live always in this
most holy life and poverty. And watch yourselves well that you in no wise
depart from it through the teaching or advice of any one.
