The Constitution of Narbonne; Franciscan Order’s case

Abstract

After some reading and talking to people, I did have an answer that I’m satisfied with; clothing is something that people would commonly use to identify the state of mind and personality of an individual, also best reflects the spirit of a person. In Franciscan Order’s case my understanding is that, if a person can not even accept the most simple and crude cloths, how can him/her aspire poverty? It is just not possible and realistic, if someone can not endure a winter with the cheapest and most common clothing, or go about barefoot how can that person say they are seeking for the poverty that Saint Francis and Bonaventure have believed? Dressing is also important since it shows the ordinary people a brief image of the whole Order, it presents a first impression to the people who don’t know about Franciscan Order, imagine meets a person who says his religious group seeks for poverty and simple life, but that person actually is enjoying luxury life-style and luxurious items, nobody would believe the person. If the case if opposite around, you see a group of faithful people in poor cloths willing to abandon money and properties to seek for poverty and serve the god with their entire life. Things just gets different id the first impression brought by different kinds of clothing.
