Offer No Resistance To Injury

The brothers should offer no resistance to injury; indeed if someone slaps them on the cheek, they should offer to other as well. And if one should take their cloak, let them not hang on to their tunic.

Let them give to everyone who begs of them; and let them not seek to retrieve what someone takes away from them.

Rule 1221 - Chapter XIV

  1. Thanks. I didn't realize this was in the rule. I've been trying to follow this and it's difficult but now I know it's in the Rule and the Gospel. From Gospel to life and life to the Gospel. Very Franciscan! Peace.
