Safeguarding is not an administrative burden added to our life as Franciscans.
It is part of how we live the Gospel.

In the Rule of 1221, Saint Francis writes:

“All the brothers without exception are forbidden to wield power or authority… whoever wishes to become great shall be their servant.”
Safeguarding is servanthood made structural, humility made accountable, and love made real.

This workbook is designed for use in:

• Area Days and TSSF small groups
• Formation gatherings
• Postulant and Novice training
• Chapter reflection
  

It may be used as three 90-minute sessions or as part of a day event.

Each session invites us to reflect prayerfully on safeguarding through Scripture, Franciscan tradition, and the Safeguarding Culture and the Daily Principles reflections.
