This podcast outlines the vocation of being a Franciscan as part of the religious order founded by Francis of Assisi over 800 years ago.
The Third Order comprises individuals in ordinary walks of life who live in a community "in dispersion" and live under rule and vows, outside a convent, without habits or religious garb.
The focus of the Franciscan vocation is to always turn towards God, and to strive for peace and unity in the family of God through living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the manner of St. Francis.
The formation process involves discovering one's personal calling and learning to live the Rule as an individual in a dispersed community, through practices such as personal prayer, study, meditation, spiritual direction, self-examination, and self-denial.
The Franciscan vocation also involves embracing material creation and finding the presence of God in all things.

In this podcast episode, we delve into the history and significance of the Daily Office, a practice rooted in ancient monastic tradition that involves regular scheduled pauses for prayer and scripture reading. We explore the various forms of the Daily Office, its role in the Third Order in the Province of the Americas, and how it fits into an individual's daily discipline. We discuss the challenges and benefits of this practice, from fostering a sense of community with other tertiaries to keeping us anchored in the wider Church community. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the practice, this episode will offer valuable insights into the role of the Daily Office in our spiritual lives.
This episode is a reading of Chapter 11 - Obedience: The Daily Office from the book “Forming The Life Of A Franciscan” which you can download by clicking here.
The chapter is read by Janice Syedullah, TSSF.
