Friends of the Little Brothers of Francis

Aims

Friends are those who value and support the witness of the contemplative orders within the Church, and the Little Brothers of Francis in particular.

They do this by developing their own prayer life and by supporting the Brothers in the following ways, as circumstances allow:

	with prayerful support of the Brothers at Eremophila, Tabulam, and at any other foundations that the Brothers may make.
	joining them in the Liturgy of the Hours, using the LBF Offices where possible.

They actively promote awareness of the Little Brothers of Francis.

They witness to the charism and spirituality of the Brothers and accept the Sources of Inspiration of the Little Brothers of Francis as underlying the ethos of the Brothers, and will endeavour to uphold them.

They support the Brothers with financial and practical help and may undertake works, activities and fund-raising ventures to provide facilities and resources for the Brothers.

Friends promote and encourage vocations to the Religious Life of the Church and use the Prayer for the Religious Life on Fridays, in union with the Brothers.

Friends may make opportunities in worship and prayer, and learning together.
