Franciscan Monks
Franciscan monks are members of a Christian religious order founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in the early 13th century. They dedicate their lives to living in poverty, humility, and service, emphasizing compassion for the poor and care for creation. Their lifestyle involves prayer, work, and community living, grounded in the values of simplicity and charity. The order aims to emulate the life of Jesus Christ, focusing on love, humility, and helping those in need. Franciscans are active in education, healthcare, and community outreach, seeking to bring spiritual and social support to society.
