Memoriale Propositi: Our Heritage

800 years of the Propositi Memorial (1221-2021)

“In this Document we find the spiritual life of the penitential movement of those first brothers and sisters who followed the lifestyle of St. Francis, which can be summarized as follows:

  • Penitential life: fasting, works of mercy, life of prayer.
  • Life in fraternity: living human values, taking care of people, bringing the family into fraternity and bringing peace and good to the brothers and sisters.”
