Franciscan friars took vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience upon joining the order. They promised to live a life of simplicity and service, often dedicating themselves to the care of the poor and marginalized. This commitment involved sacrificing personal wealth and comfort, as they aimed to emulate the life of St. Francis of Assisi, who emphasized humility and a deep connection with nature and all living beings.
