1709 Saint Francis Assisi Monastic Rule of Penance Lives of SAINTS + Piety RARE

"The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today."
― Francis of Assisi

In the 13th-century, devout followers of Saint Francis of Assisi formed the Third Order of Saint Francis. This order closely followed the preachings and examples set by Saint Francis who corresponded with these groups through letter. These letters ultimately developed into what would become the rules for penance in the Third Order.

This early 18th-century account of Third Order of Penance was collected and translated into French by Claude Frassen who included biographical sketches of the lives of saints of the Order along with prayers and liturgical texts. It also contains a printing of "Exercises of Piety" from 1703.
