	[No title]
		VI.--According to the Franciscan "mystique" (in the modern and restricted meaning of the word, that is: "new" relations of "conscious" intimacy with God) the place accorded Christ, the object and means of contemplation according to man's whole being, is fixed according to the same principles.
		The Franciscan knows with the certitude of faith that he already possesses the object of his hope and of his love, so he is not overly concerned about some form of a higher and more or less unverifiable experience of these realities.
		In Franciscan asceticism, poverty is seen to be a fount, a source of virtue whence all other virtues flow, whether they are exercised towards God and His Christ, towards neighbor or towards self.

	Franciscan Friars Third Order Regular \|
		In 1447 the Italian fraternities of male Franciscan penitents were united in a single Order by Pope Nicholas V. The friars located their motherhouse at the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian at Rome in 1512.
		As Franciscans in service to the Church, we listen to the teachings of Jesus Christ with assurance of God the Father and the Holy Spirit; we listen to God's teaching in the Church; and we listen to God's holy people as they speak to us.
		The Franciscan lifestyle dictates that we, as pupils of Saint Francis of Assisi, respond to God's word by following the example of our patron: we live simply, free of possessions and attitudes; dedicated to our brotherhood by answering the mission of the Church; bringing the message of conversion to all we meet in God's name.

	Address of Pope John Paul II to Franciscan Youth
		This is the ascetical and apostolic journey that characterizes you as Franciscan youth; it helps you to become adults in the faith, to be apostles in the ecclesial community and to conduct yourselves in society as responsible persons, capable of courageously assuming the role to which Providence calls you.
		A central element of your Franciscan identity, therefore, is the presence of the brother to be welcomed, listened to, forgiven and loved: in his face you, like Francis, must recognize that of Christ, especially when dealing with those who are least and lowliest.
		This fundamental vocation to brotherhood, which is characteristic of Franciscan Youth, makes you feel a part of the ecclesial community in which, in a spirit of poverty and "minority", you give a much appreciated humble and obedient service, according to the specific Franciscan charism.

		After the Franciscan women and men return to their local ministries, FI continues the work: organizing seminars and roundtable discussions about prevention of trafficking, delivering statements to relevant U.N. bodies, networking with diplomats, drafting and promoting specific resolutions, raising awareness of the problem of trafficking.
		He says, “Our goal is to give grassroots Franciscans the tools they need to work on this growing global phenomenon.” FI’s starting point, he says, is that trafficked persons and their defenders often are not aware of the international instruments available to help them fight against it.
		Franciscans International began as a dream in 1982, and such an unlikely one: That, somehow, the voices of Franciscan men and women around the world could find a listening ear at the United Nations.
