  • 'The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth' Vocations of Humility in the Early
    'The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth' Vocations of humility in the early Franciscan Order Heather A. Christie A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2019 ii I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work. The assistance received in preparing this thesis, and sources used, have been acknowledged. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. Heather A. Christie 19 December 2018 iii Abstract In this thesis, Francis of Assisi's vocation of humility is given its unique place in the heritage of Christian humility, and situated in relation to the early Franciscan vocation of humility that followed and the Bonaventurian vocation of humility that then concluded the infancy of First Order Franciscan development. Francis's vocation of humility was constituted by a unique blend of subjection, self- sacrifice, inversion, and freedom from worldly constraints. The characteristics that these elements gave rise to included: living the Gospel and the Rule, seeking to be the Lesser Brother in every sense, loving and honouring all brothers equally, obedience, humility in deeds and words, and the exhibition of humility that could not be mistaken for lack of strength or determination. These elements and characteristics form a framework with which to analyse the subsequent early First Order vocation of humility and the vocation of humility under Bonaventure. Studying these three vocations highlights continuities and divergences in formation and complexion.

  • The Franciscan Heritage in England (C
    chapter 21 The Franciscan Heritage in England (c. 1240–c. 1350) Michael J.P. Robson St Francis of Assisi was one of the most striking and colourful saints in the Western Church. The son of a prosperous merchant in the Umbrian city of Assisi, he swapped his life of wealth and privilege for one of penance and evangelical poverty in imitation of Jesus Christ and his apostles.The ministry of the Son of God provided the template for Francis’s vocation and liberated him from the shackles of possessions and wealth. After spending about two years repairing churches in the environs of Assisi, the key to his vocation was found in the reading of the Gospel during Mass at the rural chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli. The text in which the apostles were dispatched to proclaim the Gospel (Matthew 10:9–10, Luke 9:2, Mark 6:7–13) challenged Francis to do the same. Obeying the Scriptures to the letter, he returned to the city of his birth where he called upon his former neighbours to change their lives by embracing penance for their failings. The citizens of Assisi recognized that Francis had undergone a radical change and that his former profligacy and affluence had given way to the apostolic life with a heightened concern for the guidance conveyed by the Scriptures. 1 St Francis and the English Province One inhabitant of Assisi, Bernard of Quintavalle, was so curious about Fran- cis’s new life that he invited him to supper. The unfolding of Francis’s excit- ing new vision of evangelical life inspired Bernard to commit his future to the direction of il poverello.
