Franciscans and Dominicans had preceded him thither, but the scandalous example of irreligion and immorality set by the colonists had made it nearly impossible for these devoted men to win converts amongst the pagan races.
The Franciscans were early in the field to tend to the spiritual wants of the natives, who stood in need of some defenders to protect them from the greed of the Portuguese officials.
The Franciscan Fathers who accompanied the expedition addressed themselves at once to the conversion of the natives; but the difficulty of making themselves understood, the cruelty of the first conquerors towards the natives, and the bad example of the early colonists, made their work much more difficult than it might have been.

 Padre Pio The Franciscan - Capuchins
At the beginning of the sixteenth century the Franciscans in the Marches, as elsewhere, were divided into the two distinct families of Conventuals and Observants or Zoccolanti.
The dividing line between the two families was their adhesion to the primitive ideal of Franciscan poverty and simplicity; the Conventuals accepted revenues by papal dispensation; the Observants refused fixed revenues and lived by casual alms.
The original Franciscan life was thus a commingling of the active life with the eremitical.

 A Trip to Tolentine
From the flat lands around Rome, we soon entered a mountainous country, brilliant green but touched with the colors of fall, where the road wound like a snake through century-old villages and was, in places, so narrow that traffic was permitted to flow in only one direction at a time.
We all climbed up the old cobblestone street and, making a sudden right turn at the top of the hill, were confronted with the ornate baroque facade of the Basilica of St. Nicholas, standing at the far end of a small plaza.
After Mass, all the friars descended to the crypt where the tomb of St. Nicholas was located, to offer a silent prayer to a saint known for his good works for the sick and the poor, and his devotion and prayers for the faithful departed.

 Retreats
It was introduced both by the Jesuits and by the Franciscan Recollects of the Strict Observance and became so widespread that new houses for the "recollections" needed to be built.
For eight or ten days, people kept silence, were recollected, meditated, prayed, and listened to a director speaking on religious matters; then general confession was made and Communion received; the good Catholic left the house in excellent spirits.
The young of today need special forms of the retreat, like simple days of recollection and weekends dedicated to conversation and to prayer in which people search together for answers to life’s problems.
