This podcast outlines the vocation of being a Franciscan as part of the religious order founded by Francis of Assisi over 800 years ago.
The Third Order comprises individuals in ordinary walks of life who live in a community "in dispersion" and live under rule and vows, outside a convent, without habits or religious garb.
The focus of the Franciscan vocation is to always turn towards God, and to strive for peace and unity in the family of God through living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the manner of St. Francis.
The formation process involves discovering one's personal calling and learning to live the Rule as an individual in a dispersed community, through practices such as personal prayer, study, meditation, spiritual direction, self-examination, and self-denial.
The Franciscan vocation also involves embracing material creation and finding the presence of God in all things.

Join us on this episode as we explore the Communities of Jesus and Francis. When Jesus began his public ministry, he chose a group of brothers and sisters who became the nucleus of his Church. Francis also attracted others to himself as soon as he began to live a life of total dedication to the love of Jesus. Like Jesus, he found brothers and sisters who wanted to walk with him in the Gospel way. We discuss the joys and struggles of living in a community and how it is an essential part of our human nature. We delve into the responsibility of being part of a community and how it is our obligation as tertiaries. Join us as we explore how community building is a risk, but it is also a way of joy because it is compatible with our God-given vocation to make our world a better place.
This episode is a reading of Chapter 13 - Obedience: The Local Community from the book “Forming The Life Of A Franciscan” which you can download by clicking here.
The chapter is read by Masud Ibn Syedullah, TSSF.
