Ask most people what St. Francis gave up and they'll say his possessions. Fr. Ignatius Pio, CFR goes back to Francis's own Rule and finds a harder word buried in the Latin, sine proprio, without anything of your own. Not just no money and no property, but no plans, no reputation, no will of his own.

➡️ ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This year marks 800 years since the death of St. Francis of Assisi. To mark the anniversary, we're travelling to friaries across the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to sit down with the friars and hear, in their own words, what St. Francis means to them — how they first encountered him, what drew them to the Franciscan life, and what the Poverello continues to teach them today.
