Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging.

  • -- Saint Francis of Assisi 阿西西的圣方济各

求你赐给我极端贫穷的宝藏:求你赐给我我们秩序的显著标记,使它在日光之下不拥有任何属于它自己的东西,为了你名的荣耀,除了乞讨,它没有别的遗产。
