Mindful that they are bearers of peace which must be built up unceasingly, they should seek out
ways of unity and fraternal harmony through dialogue, trusting in the presence of the divine seed
in everyone and in the transforming power of love and pardon. Messengers of perfect joy
in every circumstance, they should strive to bring joy and hope to others.
From the Rule of the Secular Franciscan Order
