Siglos proclamando paz evangelio y cultura

Asociada a los dioses, pies descalzo pureza

Ningún fraile lo imite, sus estigmas, le apura

Divina misión manda, San Francisco, pobreza

Afirma sufrimiento, poverello, ternura

Lugar inferior sacro que convirtió en riqueza

Indica divinidad, reverencia a la tierra

Armadura espiritual amar a Dios lo aferra.

SENCILLOS SIMBOLOS, SON EVANGELIOS DE PAZ

Centuries proclaiming peace, gospel, and culture

Associated with the gods, bare feet, purity

Let no friar imitate him, his stigmata urge him on

Divine mission commands, Saint Francis, poverty

Affirms suffering, the poor man, tenderness

Sacred lower place that he transformed into wealth

Indicates divinity, reverence for the earth

Spiritual armor, loving God, clings to him.

 

SIMPLE SYMBOLS, THEY ARE GOSPELS OF PEACE

FRANCISCAN SANDALS

Franciscans wear sandals as a symbol of humility, poverty, simplicity, and penance—central values ​​in the life of Saint Francis.

Regarding footwear, Saint Francis always walked barefoot, in accordance with Jesus' command to the apostles: "Do not wear sandals..."

Only in the last two years of his life, to conceal the bandages bloodied by the stigmata on his feet, did he have to wear leather or cloth shoes, as can be seen in the relics of Assisi. The Rule only states that friars may wear footwear in cases of necessity. Sandals, however, soon became the norm.
