Third Order Franciscan Saints

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who mourn,

for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

"A Tree is known by its fruits."
