Click meIn the 13th century, the Mendicant Orders emerged, founded on the renunciation of possessions and a life supported by almsgiving or work, but operating within the Church and in collaboration with it. Preaching became central: the friars settled in the cities, spoke in a simple and accessible way, and gradually committed their sermons and teachings to writing. Among the principal orders, the Franciscans stood out, valuing the concrete example of poverty, penance, and service to the marginalized (with the Canticle of the Creatures as a cultural testimony), and the Dominicans, oriented towards solid theological formation and the defense of orthodoxy against heresies.
Click meThe summary retraces the key moments of the Franciscan experience: from the abandonment of possessions to the founding of the Friars Minor, up to the spiritual maturity expressed in the Canticle of the Creatures, a hymn to creation in which every natural element is recognized as a "brother" or "sister." Francis's final years, marked by suffering and near-blindness, are recalled, along with his death in Assisi in 1226 and his canonization in 1228. The article highlights the innovative scope of his message: essential elements such as freedom, universal brotherhood, and care for creation, elements that make his figure relevant and of strong educational impact.
