The Franciscan                                    
                    The modern Franciscan is a person that has                   
                    dedicated themselves to following a path to The One by  
                    making  use of the practicies of Prayer, Fasting, Silence,
Vigils, Reading, and Good works.  Franciscan spirituality implies        
a single heart seeking God and may or may not be carried out in        
the company of others.  It is a way of life that requires certain              
discipline in following The Rule of Saint Francis.

he "real world" will fail with its trust in Power, Prestige, and Money.  
These "illusions" are rejected by the Franciscan in the "Desert" and
they live their lives in Poverty, Powerlessness, and at The Bottom.
