<blockquote>The Order of Francis and Clare takes its name from a quaint period in history which was fraught with the personal [[Armageddon]] and vicious forces every whit as nefarious as they are today. It also harks back to a limited understanding of Christ; yet, in the inner mysteries of our hearts, we knew far more than we dared say.</blockquote> | <blockquote>The Order of Francis and Clare takes its name from a quaint period in history which was fraught with the personal [[Armageddon]] and vicious forces every whit as nefarious as they are today.

<blockquote>The order today goes beyond that which it was to a new birth in the [[Aquarian age]]. And as you receive the mantle and the perception of the office, you forge that order and create out of it what must needs be. Thus, beloved hearts, chastity itself is purity. It is the purity of the [[chakra]]s. It is the purity of heart. It is the path of the Sacred Heart. It is the purity of the soul and the purification of body. Above all, it is the transmutation of all past [[karma]]. It is the dedication to the path of the [[ascension]] by the raising of that [[Kundalini]] fire.</blockquote> | <blockquote>The order today goes beyond that which it was to a new birth in the [[Aquarian age]].

<blockquote>Poverty is the self-emptying, that one might be filled. Every day give the light away that is yours to give. Thus, know the true way of Mother Poverty. The emptying that one might be filled is the nature of the Path. Poverty is a love that is greater for others than for oneself.</blockquote> | <blockquote>Poverty is the self-emptying, that one might be filled. Every day give the light away that is yours to give.
