Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in English Franciscan History: Being the Ford Lectures Delivered in the University of Oxford in 1916 "Not only for our own salvation has God called us, but also for the edification of others by example, counsel, and wholesome exhortation." These words, from the General Constitutions of the Franciscan Order, may be compared with a similar passage from the earliest constitutions of the Dominican Order: "Our Order is known to have been founded specially for preaching and the salvation of souls." It is characteristic of the Franciscan Order and of the views of St. Francis that with them the greatest stress is placed on example. The chapter on Preachers in the early Rule has little to say on preaching (and that mostly of a negative character), much on humility and the inner holiness of spirit, and may be summed up in the sentence: "Let all the brethren preach by their works."
