The Franciscan order with the letters TOR after it?

Third Order Regular

Priests? I thought that OFM?

The francsicans are dividied into three orders...the first is for men is the friars (OFM Conv, OFM Cap and OFM LU) the second is cloistered women ie the poor clares...the third is for secular people later the Secular Francsians.

The men and women who followed the third order rule are brothers and sister of penance...some of these men where diocesan priests who wanted to follow this rule and live in communty...this was the start of the brothers of the Third Order Regular (TOR)

i hope that clarifies it a bit...they are as much franciscan as I or oither friars are

In Christ and Mary,
fr. Matt, OFM Conv.

I WANNA BE A PRIEST!!!!

FriarMatt, I got a very nice San Domiano crucifix for my confirmation! I love it, and sometimes, I get this urge to just hold it....

Praise God C2core

I suggest you make the prayer of St. Francis your own

"Most High, Glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my heart and give me true faith, certian hope and perfect charity, sense and knowledge, that I may carry out your holy and true command."

know of my prayers and if you ever want to chat, feel free to hit up my AIM or MSN

in Christ and Mary,
fr. Matt, ofm conv.

i wish you the best.

San damiano is nice but i like simple stuff. It is rather ornate and complex with a lot going on.

Priests of non-Franciscan orders and lay people are part of the TOR. I think that's how it goes

thanks, all....yeah, the symbolism in the San Damiono is just...awesome...that's why I like it.
