At note before I continue: I beg your understanding if I use the wrong terms etc in this post. Part of the purpose of it to learn
Before I met my wife I considered becoming a secular Franciscan. I made a few calls & enquiries, but never went any further, partly due to the time I was spending dating and courting my wife (to be).
Now that we are together, as our faith has deepened, we have both talked about this. As I understand it, or maybe don’t, the secular orders are open to married couples. Past that, and following the rule of St Francis, I don’t know what else is involved, about from a dedication to living a life devoted to Christ.
I seem to recall that you did meet in community once a month for Mass and prayer, but I honestly don’t recall anything else.
Can anyone fill in the gaping gaps in my knowledge
God bless
